merge date into word from excel

[Ramon Niese]

Hi,

Don't know for sure if this is the right group to post but I will give it a
try.

I have an excel document that I want to merge into word. In this excel
document there is a field Date.
The date is displayed in excel as: 27-03-1995
If I merge this into word than the date is displayed as 03-27-1995.
Does anyone know what i must do to solve this?

thx in advance.

Ramon
