In the Insert | Date dialog, you can choose your default date format. In
order to make the format you suggest available, you may have to have this
selected as your default Short Date format in Windows Regional and Language
Options.

Alternatively, if you are using a DATE field, you can add a time/date
formatting switch to result in that format and save the field as an AutoText
entry.

Is there a way to customize the Insert Date function? I want the
format to look like this:

Tues 3/11/09

Thanks!
