I have some English mailmerge documents that I am having written into
spanish. In my english verions I have a field that automatically puts todays
date in ( TIME \@ "MM/DD/YYYY" ) but's it has English months.

Anyone know of a way I can have say January become de enero.

I am a little lost here

In Word 2000, if you set the language of the field to Spanish, it
displays the appropriate language. For instance, I just created this field:
    { date \@ "dddd, MMMM d, yyyy }

In English I see this:
    Saturday, October 22, 2005

I set the language to Spanish, and update the field, to see this:
    sábado, octubre 22, 2005

If I want this format instead
    sábado, 22 de octubre de 2005

I can use this format string:
    { date \@ "dddd, d 'de' MMMM 'de' yyyy }

Hope that helps.
