[AccessD] Dates And Merging To Word

To all,
 
I have a table in Access which has two dates fields (formatted as short date and DD/MM/YYYY), I have a word document that links to the database and uses both the date fields, however when I merge the data the dates appear in the format MM/DD/YYYY.  Anyone any ideas why this is happening, and how I can get round it please.
 
Thanks in advance for any help.
