Hi Scott

There is proably a macro that can be written to do this which someone will hopefully advise. However in the short term you can use the "tip" box of the form field to display the date format in the status row at the bottom of the screen.

Thanks for your reply, I had a feeling it may be a job for macros. I have had a look for the 'tip' box but cant seem to find it, can you tell me where its located?

Thanks
Scott

Hi Scott
I may have misled you slightly (sorry). You can add help to a formfield in Word 2003. Follow the link below and it will explain how you do it.

Good luck
