Answer Box: Numbers don't merge right in Word

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

I often cheat instead of racking my brain.
I'll insert another column (probably hidden!) and use:
=text(a2,"ddmmyy")
or
=text(a2,"mm:ss.0")
or
=text(a2,"00000")
(or whatever format I want)
and use that field in the mailmerge.
(Cheating doesn't bother me anymore <vbg.)

Does anyone know how I can preserve my date format (dd/mm/yy) when doing a
mail merge from Excel to Word? I would like to show either dd/mm/yy or 10
February 2010, but it keeps being switched round to American format
(mm/dd/yy).
Thanks!
