Why does the date change from english to american in mail merge

[diane morris]

I have been trying to do a mail merge from an excel document with dates in
but when the dates go into the word document they are in an amercan form ie
mm/dd/yy instead of dd/mm/yy can this be rectified

See the "Dates: day/month reversed" item under the "Connection methods"
topic of the "Mail merge in Word 2002/2003" section of fellow MVP Cindy
