However, ordinal dates are even more complicated.
See http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm
and the linked article from both.

Thanks Graham. I had the code from Macropod's document already - all I have
done is place it in the document twice, with the first set formatted
"d"\*ordinal and the second formatted \@ "MMMM yyyy".
This seems to have worked but I won't know for sure until I run the merge.
Do you (or anyone else) forsee any problems with my logic?
Thanks,
Chris

That should work. I had a horrible feeling that you wanted superscripted
ordinals :)

No, no - don't like superscripting !)
Thanks again for your help.
