You would need to spell field correctly for it to work and you cannot do it
readily with one field (though see
http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm )

{Mergefield DATEFIELDNAME \[ at ] "MMMM " }{Mergefield DATEFIELDNAME \[ at ] "d"
\*ordinal }, {Mergefield DATEFIELDNAME \[ at ] "yyyy" }
