I often cheat instead of racking my brain.
I'll insert another column (probably hidden!) and use:
=text(a2,"ddmmyy")

Hi friends,
I use mail merge facility extensively. The common problem I find is that the
date format from excel appears as numbers in the mail merged document and not
as a date.
Why does this happen?
Pl help
