Solved: Date Format

[Levski]

Is there a standard function for having d MMMM yyyy display with the appropriate st/nd/rd/th following the day, or should I just construct a string using a case statement?

Thanks.

I don't believe there is anything builtin to Word to put the day ordinal in automatically. Take a look at thie Kb Entry (http://www.vbaexpress.com/kb/getarticle.php?kb_id=175). It is for Excel, but it will show you how to set up the Select Case construct.

Hi Lev, :D

I'm sorry but I don't really understand you're question!

But if you are looking for a function that takes a date and Formats it to the desired "Date Format" then you should look at the Format function of VBA

Perhaps if you gave more information then perhaps there would be other date function that would be handy...but like I said I don't get your question for now.

Enjoy! :whistle:

There's nothing I know in VBA but in a Word Field you can use the "\* Ordinal" switch. That may or may not help depending on what you are trying to do.

Nice to see you've got it working now.

So you are using fieldcodes like: {DATE \@ "d" \* Ordinal}?

See Yah! :whistle:
