Trying to investigate this, and it might not be an issue with Word, but I wanted to ask just in case.


I have a Word document that has several "merge" fields. The fields all reference Salesforce.com.


The issue I'm having is this:
The merge field is referencing a "date" field in Salesforce.
The date field is Salesforce show a date formatted like this: 12/26/2019
When I generate the document (using Conga Composer) the date in the Word doc is formatted like this: 2019-12-26.


There are no macros running.


Does anyone have an idea of why Word is displaying the date in a different format then the field in Salesforce.com?


Thank you
Shawn

Hi,

I ran into this problem and it bugged me for a long time. Here's the solution:
