Default Formatting is not staying when making labels in Word

And if you prefer the old Mail Merge helper, Word MVP Suzanne Barnhill
has instructions he

I have been working on a large database.
Once I make a list, I then use Microsoft Word to print labels.
At the beginning, I formatted one of the columns for dates in
English (US) so it shows day, month (abbreviated), year.
Now, when I go to print the labels, that column does not stay
formated in that way for the label. A second colum I formated
for US Social Security number doesn't stay either.
Can any one tell me what can be done?
