MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / March 2004How do I fix the date field in my mail merge document?
The field "ISSUE_DATE" in my mail merge document is merging in numbers like "37651" instead of a date "12/1/2003" from my recipient list. I went in and looked at my list through the mail merge wizard and my issue dates are count numbers instead of dates. I don't understand what happened. Because, everything was just fine the day before. I have tried the switch "\@ "MM/dd/yyyy" but, it didn't work. Please help me in figuring this frustrating problem out. What is your data source? How does it format dates?
