Hi,

I inserted a date field by choosing Insert -> Date and time, and the
"update automatically" option.
The date appears as 12 February 2008. I want the date to appear as
12th day of February, 2008. Can someone tell me how to modify the
field code to make it? Thanks.

Mike
 
Hi cyberdude,

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:
http://www.wopr.com/cgi-bin/w3t/showthreaded.pl?Number=249902
or
http://www.gmayor.com/downloads.htm#Third_party
In particular, look at the item titled 'Insert A Date With Text Using A Formula Field'. You can probably get away with simply
copying & pasting either of the fields there - at most you might need to edit the field coding to use the document's CREATEDATE,
PRINTDATE or SAVEDATE values instead of the (current) DATE.

Cheers
