Number suffix - st nd rd th

[Gav]

Hi All,

I'm trying to display a date field within my document that include the
number suffix, for example: 1st February 2008.

Thanks,
Gav

You need two fields
{Date \@ "d" \*Ordinal} {Date \@ "MMMM yyyy"}
If you want superscripted ordinals, it gets a whole lot more complicated -
see the section Date fields with ordinals at
http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm

Hi Gav,

To see how to do this and just about everything else you might want to do
with dates in Word, check out my Date Calc 'tutorial', at:

or

In particular, look at the item titled 'Insert A Date With Text Using A Formula Field'

Cheers
