Word Merge w/Excel Data
My word document continues to change my cell information for the date. I
originally had i.e. 10/27/09 then changed it to October 27, 2009. I made sure that the cell was a date format, then changed it to a text format, and resaved. But when I redid the merge it picked up the data as numerical again. I have also gone in and changed the "conversion" part under Tools & General tab. Still didn't work. It is 3:30 pm & I am losing my mind. What simple step am I missing?

Have you tried the DDE method of connecting to the data source?
