Date field formats

I am using a merge field to put a date into a Word
document. The format on the excel sheet is dd/mm/yyyy.
However, when I merge the document it comes out as
mm/dd/yyyy. The regional settings are set to the UK. Any
ideas as to how to prevent this?

Thanks.

See the "Dates: day/month reversed" item under the "Connection methods"
topic of the "Mail merge in Word 2002" section of fellow MVP Cindy
