switches

[JHelfrich]

I am having trouble formatting a date field and a currency field. In a merge
I am using excel. The "datepledged" field is merged "10/1/04" and I need it
to read October 1, 2004. And the "amountpledged" field comes in as 100 and I
need it to read $100.00. I usually format my letters in Access just because
of this....but I would love to be able to figure this out.

the date field switch is @\ "MMMM d, yyyy" and the currency switch is #\
$,#.00 use it inside the field after the field name.
