I am doing a mail merge between word and a .txt file where
depending on the shoppers details their date due could be
any day of the month they specify. Is there a was to add
a superscripted st, nd, rd, th depending on the date in
the merged Word doc? right now it looks like "Date Due is
the 31 of every month". It would have so much more eye
appeal if it looked like "Date Due is the 31st
superscripted) of every month"

I would appreciated if someone could assist.
Many thanks

The ordinal is easy enough, using two fields, but the superscript isn't and
the method I use isn't available in a merge document.
See http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm for detail on both.

Hi Lake,

To see how to create superscripted date ordinals, see:
http://www.wopr.com/cgi-bin/w3t/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=wrd&Number=249902
(url all one line)

You could adapt the examples there for use with a mailmerge.

Cheers
