Hello, I can't automatically insert the th onto my date, how can I do that?
Thanks in advance.

    Hello,

    This is an automatic correction: if I write 4th, "th" automatically comes in superscript, or of an automatic date field (in which case the situation is a bit more complex since I will also have to take into account st, nd, rd...)?

      @WeeZIIIIt is assumed that Word is in English (File-Options-Language) and the trick is to do it in TWO parts:
      Insert-Quick Parts-Field.
      Scroll down to date, then click on field codes at the bottom.
      Remove "date" in the space at the top right and copy WITHOUT THE BRACKETS: DATE \@ dd \*ordinal Click OK
      Enter (or not) whatever you want next to it ("of" in the chosen example)
      Repeat the operation on the right with DATE \@ "MMMM yyyy"
      Then just click to the right, toggle field codes, to modify the syntax (for example MMM instead of MMMM...)

      PS: I almost forgot, if I remember correctly, the correct syntax in English is "June 24th 2021" and, for that matter, it takes not 2 but 3 parts: date with only the month, ordinal, date with only the year, remove the excess parameters (yyyy) for the first one, etc.

      @brucineIf I'm not mistaken, it's in American English that it's "June 24th 2021", so I succeeded, we'll see tomorrow if it works automatically ^^ so it handles all the suffixes like 'st, nd, etc...' well?

      @WeeZIIII don't know, we either have to wait until July or create a field with CreateDate and a document created on an appropriate date, but that's what I understand, yes.

      If you're in the mood to go the extra mile, you can even add the day (4th field dddd followed by a comma).

      Upon checking, for the format, you are right, I learned English across the Atlantic, you can't change that, but it seems that the only universal format is: Thursday, the 24th of June,
