Hi yet again...

I'm using the following to format my dates as they are pulled over from
Access into my Word merge file:

   { MERGEFIELD ANAirDate \@ "MMM. d, yy" }

which produces a date that looks like this:

   Mar. 1, 80

However, I'd like the date to look like this:

   Mar. 1, '80

Word help says I should just have to use this format to make it work:

   { MERGEFIELD ANAirDate \@ "MMM. d, 'yy" }

but Word barfs when I do that, giving me this error message:

   Error! Picture string contains unmatched quotes.

Any ideas on fixing this? Is there perhaps some global setting in Word
that I may have toggled on or off to make it function differently from
everyone else on the planet? :)
