How to chage date format in mail merge

In Microsoft Word, you can change the date format in a mail merge by using the Format function in the MergeField syntax. Here are the steps:

1. Open your Word document and go to the "Mailings" tab in the ribbon.
2. Click on the "Select Recipients" button and choose your recipient list.
3. Click on the "Insert Merge Field" button and select the date field you want to format (e.g. Date or CreatedDate).
4. In the "MergeField" syntax, add the Format function to specify the desired date format. For example:

   =Format(Date,"yyyy-mm-dd")

   This will format the date as YYYY-MM-DD.

Here are some examples of common date formats you can use:

• yyyy-mm-dd (e.g. 2022-07-25)
• mm/dd/yyyy (e.g. 07/25/2022)
• dd/mm/yyyy (e.g. 25/07/2022)
• dd MMM yyyy (e.g. 25 Jul 2022)
• yyyy MMM dd (e.g. 2022 Jul 25)

Note that the Format function is case-sensitive, so make sure to use the correct case for the date format you want to apply.

5. Click "OK" to close the "MergeField" dialog box.
6. Preview your mail merge document to see the formatted dates.

Alternatively, you can also use the TEXT function to format the date. For example:

=TEXT(Date,"yyyy-mm-dd")

This will also format the date as YYYY-MM-DD.
