Export of excel data to word

Hi Shirley

Another delegate asked this question.

I think it has something to do with Excel dates being really numbers which are formatted to look like dates. I assume that in the merge process there is a native conversion to US format for these.

I would suggest that you type the Excel dates in text format eg 11th September 2008. The merge should then recognise these as text and the dates should appear correctly in the merge.

Hope it works - I haven't tested it!
