How to get dd mm yyyy format in mail merge

In Microsoft Word's Mail Merge feature, you can format the date field to display in the "dd mm yyyy" format using the following steps:

  1. In your Word document, go to the "Insert" menu and select "Field" to insert a date field.
  2. In the "Field names" list, select "Date" and click "OK".
  3. In the "Format" dropdown menu, select "Custom" and enter the following format code: dd/mm/yyyy
  4. Click "OK" to insert the date field with the custom format.

Alternatively, you can also use the "Date" field with the "Format" property to achieve the same result. Here's how:

  1. Insert a date field as described above.
  2. Right-click on the date field and select "Toggle Field Codes" to toggle the field code on.
  3. In the field code, add the following code: Format "dd/mm/yyyy"
  4. Toggle the field code off to display the formatted date.

For example, the field code might look like this:

{ DATE \@ "dd/mm/yyyy" }

This will display the date in the "dd mm yyyy" format.

Note that the @ symbol is used to specify the format code, and the dd/mm/yyyy code is the format string. You can adjust the format code to suit your needs.
