No, it's just a field. Press Ctrl+F9 to insert the field (which will be
displayed at { }), then type the text between the braces.

Do you really want Tues or Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun, which are
more
common abbreviations and for which you can use
{ Date \@ "ddd M/d/yy" }

Thanks Doug, that's the format I'm looking for. But I'm not sure how
to use this formula - in a macro?
