When creating a word template, how can I remove the time and only show the date?

Hello, 

When creating a word template, how can I remove the time and only show the date?

I've tried following these steps here but it did not work: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/change-date-format-field-on-word-template-from/a6c47783-5103-4334-97f0-32bf930aa9d4

{ DATE "mailmergefield" \@ “dddd dd MMMM yyyy” }

Any advice?
