I have a letter that includes a merge field
called "meeting date."  I am merging from an Excel file.  
I formatted the dates in Excel so that the month is
spelled out, for example, "May 15, 2003."  When I merge
into Word, the date is shown as "5/15/03."  In Word, I
went to Insert Date/Time and set the default to "May 15,
2003" but it still merges wrong.  Please help!

Hi Anna,

In your word document, change the "meeting date"
mergefield by adding the required date switch, eg:
{mergefield meeting_date \@ "MMMM d, yyyy}

Cheers
