I am merging data from an excel file set to store dates in the UK format and
the Word document is NOT preserving that format - what field switch do I need
to add to the date-time picture to ensure that the dates appear correctly?

See the "Dates: day/month reversed" item under the "Connection methods"
topic of the "Mail merge in Word 2002" section of fellow MVP Cindy
