Cannot Change Mail Merge Field format in Word 2010

I am trying to do a Mail Merge from a Salesforce into MS Word 2010.  I am able to get field(s) that I want from the Mail Merge I just cannot display the format that I want. For instance I want to change the date format from 05/1/2013 into May 1, 2013.  Here is the mail merge code that I have in word {MERGEFIELD  createddate
\@ "MMMM d, yyyy}. I have also tried to use words format to put the equal sign in front then the switch formatting like so { = {MERGEFIELD  createddate } \@ "MMMM d, yyyyy"} but I show a syntax error in word. Someone any one HELP!!!!!

 

Thanks.

Can you show us the  merge field code where you are trying to insert the format snippet?

 

Without that I do not see how we can help!

It should be in my first post but I will be happy to post them again:

Here is my first code:

{ MERGEFIELD createddate \@  "MMMM d, yyyy"}

 

And here is other code that I am using that gives me an syntax error in word:

 { = { MERGEFIELD createddate } \@ "MMMM d, yyyy"}

 

Thanks agian.
