My reginal setting (PT-Portugal) in Windows for "date" is: dd/mm/yyyy,
instead of US normal setting of mm/dd/yyyy.

In Excel, dates appear OK, like my regional settings (ie: dd/mm/yyyy).

However, if I do a mailmerge into Word, using the sourcedata from excel,
the
date comes like US setting (mm/dd/yyyy), which is no usefuk for me.

How can I solve this problem ???

Tks in advance for any help.
