The dates available are dictated by the language format at the cursor. In
the top right corner of the insert date dialog, there is a window from which
you can select available languages. The US English language will provide the
date style you require.
OR
If you are creating a letter template, add a Createdate field eg {CreateDate
\@ "MM/dd/yyyy"}.
OR
If you simply want the date at the cursor, a simple plan is to add a macro
to the QAT (Quick Access Toolbar) or to a keyboard shortcut
Sub InsDate()
Selection.TypeText Format(Date, "MM/dd/yyyy")
End Sub
