When you select an eLink date field and insert it into a Word Template within eLink, then the date displays in American format with the time showing. To change this we need to go in to the Tools (Spanner symbol) and select the Document Templates link. Then edit the Blank Letter Template, click through until you reach the page that says Modify and click Modify. This opens Word. Then highlight the merge field <Doc_Create> and rightclick and select ‘toggle field codes’. This will give you something that looks like this:
{MERGEFIELD DOC_CREATE }
Then add the following code just before the end bracket:
\@ “dd MMMM yyyy”
This leaves you with a field that should look like this:
{MERGEFIELD DOC_CREATE \@ “dd MMMM yyyy”}
Then go to File and click ‘Update’ then go to File and click ‘Back to Link’ then click the tick at the bottom right corner of the Template Wizard to save our changes. Done!
