Mail merge date format uk

When using mail merge in Microsoft Word in the UK, you may need to format the date correctly to match the UK date format, which is DD/MM/YYYY.

Here are a few ways to achieve this:

Using the @ symbol: You can use the @ symbol to format the date as a text string in the desired format. For example:
```
@DD/MM/YYYY
```
This will display the date in the format DD/MM/YYYY.
Using the Format function: You can use the Format function to format the date. For example:
```
=Format(Now(),"dd/mm/yyyy")
```
This will display the current date in the format DD/MM/YYYY.
Using a custom date format: You can also use a custom date format to achieve the desired result. To do this, follow these steps:

a. Go to the "Mailings" tab in the ribbon. b. Click on "Select Recipients" and then "Edit Recipient List". c. In the "Edit Recipient List" dialog box, click on the "Format" button next to the "Date" field. d. In the "Format" dialog box, select "Custom" from the "Category" dropdown list. e. In the "Format" field, enter the following format: dd/mm/yyyy f. Click "OK" to close the "Format" dialog box. g. Click "OK" to close the "Edit Recipient List" dialog box.

Once you've applied one of these methods, the date should be displayed in the correct format (DD/MM/YYYY) in your mail merge document.
