We recently moved to Office 2003. We had a file in Excel 2000 that we used
to merge with a Word 2000 document for certificates. The date formatting in
the Excel document doesn't display in the Word document. It appears as
mm/dd/yyyy in Word and is formatted as month day, year in Excel. Why isn't
the formatting carrying over from Excel to the Word document? Any help would
be appreciated. Thanks.
