Hi all,

I hope that someone can offer me some advice.

I have been using an excel (2007) template and a word (2007) template to create documents for my business using a mail merge. All has been working well for the last few months.

However, I have an issue that the date that is being input in excel e.g. 17/07/09 is coming out as 40011 (or similar) when the mail merge is complete. I haven't changed either of the template documents and the cells have been formatted properly in the excel sheet so there is no reason for this problem.

I have googled it and searched other forums but I cannot find anyone having the same problem.

Any suggestions would be gratefully recieved as whilst I am not a novice with computers this has me at a loss!
