Insert Date does not have the usual date format

[Tom B]

I was unable to add this new date format to the list of date
formats I can access with Insert, Field and Date.

Did you, as instructed, select the format in Control Panel | Regional and
Language Options? You may need to create the format manually, using the
elements described at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/DateFields.htm

1. This is covered in the link I posted explaining how to create the macro
for Word 2007 and earlier versions
http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm
2. The macro does not put the date in the list of formats. It simply inserts
the date at the cursor position in the format February 9, 2009

I regret the multiple copies of my reply here. Each time I tried to post a
reply, I received an automated error message that the posting failed. The
error message told me to try again later. Later I found they had been posted
anyway, so there are multiple entries of the same content. I regret that,
but was following the instructions sent to me by the system.

I'm fairly new to MS Word, but not to word processing.

Thank you. That seems to resolve it. I am new to MS Word and did not
understand your answer at first.

Do yourself a BIG favour and ditch the horrible web interface. Use a news
reader instead.

Apparently there is a fault on at least one of the web portals which
reproduce these messages that I was not aware of, as I never use the web
portals. You may find it simpler to do as I and a majority of the regular
contributors do and access the NNTP server directly - see
