{QUOTE{DATE}}
To this:
To force DATE fields to convert to their results (ie so that they become static dates), reflecting the date on which the merge was performed, simply embed them in a QUOTE field by pressing Ctrl+F9 twice to get two nested pairs of field braces, and type QUOTE after the first brace and DATE after the 2nd brace, like this:

{QUOTE{DATE}}
