MS-Word, the word processing software from Microsoft Corporation is often used by individuals and institutions to create and print personalized letters in large quantities. For this the Mail Merge feature of MS Word is used.

@ “dddd, d MMMM yyyy” (formats like: Monday, 5 August 2013)
@ “ddd, d MMMM yyyy” (formats like: Mon, 5 August 2013)
@ “d MMM yyyy” (formats like: 5 Aug 2013)
@ “dd/MMM/yyyy” (formats like: 05/Aug/2013)
Besides these, you can create any of your desired codes by rearranging these switches (d, M and y). For example, you can write @ “MMM d yyyy” to format date like Aug 5 2013.
