MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / August 2005Formatting Date in Mail Merge
I have a swim team roster in Excel 2003. One of the fields is birthdate formatted as a date mm/dd/yy. When I merge that field using Word 2003 the date shows up as yyyy-mm-dd 00:00:00 How can I change the format to mm/dd/yy or mm/dd/yyyy? Thanks! You have to add a date formatting switch to the merge field: { Mergefield Birthday \@ "MM/dd/yy" } Alt+F9 to show/hide the field codes. -- Cindy > I have a swim team roster in Excel 2003.
