Re: Future Date - Word 2000 Chris Stammers 6/22/2007 12:16:01 PM Thanks Graham. I had the code from Macropod's document already - all I have done is place it in the document twice, with the first set formatted "d"\*ordinal and the second formatted \[ at ] "MMMM yyyy". This seems to have worked but I won't know for sure until I run the merge. Do you (or anyone else) forsee any problems with my logic?

Re: Future Date - Word 2000 "Graham Mayor" <gmayor[ at ]REMOVETHISmvps.org> 6/22/2007 12:48:41 PM That should work. I had a horrible feeling that you wanted superscripted ordinals :) -- <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Chris Stammers wrote: [Quoted Text] > Thanks Graham.

Re: Future Date - Word 2000 Chris Stammers 6/22/2007 1:02:01 PM No, no - don't like superscripting !) Thanks again for your help. "Graham Mayor" wrote: [Quoted Text] > That should work.
