Formatting is not staying when making labels in Word
 

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?

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