UK date format

Hi Kalindi,

Thank you for the forum question.


Open the document with the mail merge fields.

Right-click the date merge field, and select Toggle Field Codes from the context menu.

You will see something like { MERGEFIELD DateField } or { MERGEFIELD DateField \* MERGEFORMAT }, where DateField is the name of the merge field.

Make it look like this: { MERGEFIELD DateField \@ "dd/MM/yyyy" }

Press F9 to hide the field code.


Kind regards
