Default two fields and line with comma in between

Create and insert the month, day, year field twice. In the first field, edit out the day and year. In the second field, edit out the month and day. Then add space ________, space between them.

You will get December _______, 2014 (for example).

Default

How you approach this rather depends on the point of it. If the document is to be printed and filled in by hand, then you can use a single field

{ CREATEDATE \@ "MMMM _________, yyyy" }

You can use two fields as suggested earlier in the thread e.g.

{ CREATEDATE \@ "MMMM" } _________ { CREATEDATE \@ ",yyyy" }
with underlined spaces between the fields, which would allow you to edit the space on a PC (though you would have to use overwrite mode or remove spaces to maintain the relationship between month and year).
