Formula for converting month from -Mmm- to Mmmm format in word 2003 and word 2007

Hi,

I want to convert all months in a word 2003 that is in 24-Jan-2009, 4-Aug-2011 format etc to 24 January 2009, 4 August 2001 etc by using a single formula in find and replace.

Curently I use 'find' -Jan- then 'replace' with January for each month. Hence, to complete I have to use find and replace 12 times!!!

If there was a single formula then it could be done all at once.

Kindly help
Thanks

You just can do it in Excel. Select the range, go to format - cell - custom, type dd mmmm yyyy.

Thanks..However, I am looking for some way that is specific for Word document.
