I have :
Error! Too many picture switches defined.{ DATE \@ "d" \* Ordinal } { DATE \@ " MMMM yyyy" }
when entering. I am merely a novice and know nothing of switches.
Is there a simple step by step approach to deal with Date Fields and Date Codes?
I have looked at Graham Mayor's work:
http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm
but his information is too advanced for me.
I just want to insert ordinal dates into my letters.
Thanks

Are you sure that you can see everything. Try showing the field codes in your document with the Alt+F9 toggle.
Can't get the Alt f9 toggle to work. IIs that inthe "Field" window, field options ie after CREATEDATE code in field window?
I am sorry my knowledge and experience is very basic here!

Most keystroke shortcuts to do with fields involve the F9 key.
e.g. F9 will update all the fields in the Selection and Ctrl+F9 is used to insert an empty field that looks like this: {}.

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
