    I have a mail merge document that uses an Excel spreadsheet as its data source. I have a date field in the spreadsheet which is set to the format that I want, ie., "dd-mmm-yyyy". How do I force the mergefield in Word to do the same? It seems to ignore whatever I do. Where does Word get its date formatting from? The regional settings in Control panel have no effect.

    Have you tried the built in help files in word?
