I am having the same issue.
This is my merge field:
«APPLICANT_HIRE_DATE»
It prints as 8\1\2004
Need it to be August 1, 2004
Where do you put the \@ "MMMM d,yyyy" ???
Thanks
Mike
Toggle on the display of Field Code by pressing Alt+F9 and insert the
formatting switch inside the closing } of the mergefield code.
