Re: custom date format in PowerPoint?

["Dick Margulis " <margulis -at- mail -dot- fiam -dot- net>]

Thanks to various people's suggestions, I was able to create a macro that does the job. First (in PowerPoint) I open the Word doc that has the correctly formatted date field. This opens as a one-slide PPT file. From there I copy the content of slide 1, switch to the real show, and paste it in the correct position.

Ugly, perhaps, but it works.
