Hi, wonder if you could help?
I'm importing an Excel document to Microsoft word mail merge.
the date format in excel is UK BUT when i export it into a word document/table the format is changed to US - how can i change this?
many thanks

Sorry to say but it seems to be a known issue with Word

Here's a work around I found for you.
Unless you fancy writing or obtaining a 3rd party mail-merge macro you may be stuck untill MS sort it.
