Template Dates

Question

When creating a template, I have a few date fields like this: [ Date ] day of [ Month ], [ Year ], that would need to be filled out like this 8 day of October , 2025. 
 Is there a way to fill these out from the Document date metadata tag of the template? instead of inserting all 3 of them separately, date, month and year? 
 Thanks

Search the net for "word merge data format" and you will get links that describe how you can format the date field to your liking. 
 It would probably be something like \@ "d day of MMMM, yyyy" The "day of" part may not work - the d in day will probably be interpreted as "date". You may have to split it in 2 merge fields to get it right.
