Regardless of how I format a date field in the "format" "date" box, when I insert it into a merge document, it formats as follows: 01/01/2000. I'm trying to get it to format as January 1, 2000. I know it's an easy answer.

You can also select the merge text in layout mode and use the Date formatting in Format menu to change the way the date is displayed. The only limitation is that you can only have one date format per piece of merge text. -bd

Create a calc field with DateTtoText(date), then use that field for your merge document.

Oh yeah -- make sure you return text.

HTH,
