There is hope. There is a cdev (control panel device) which will allow you
to change such things for the whole system (not just for Word). You could
change the date format, write your letter, and then change it back.
The cdev is called Simon, written by someone in Australia I think, and
should be available via anonymous ftp to sumex. If you are unable to get
ahold of it, I can try mailing it to you.
