One standard formatting of CreateDate is in the form of "26 September 2008"
I want to change the format to automatically enter the date in the form of
"26th day of September, 2008". |

You'll have to do it with two copies of the CreateDate field plus some plain
text. With field codes displayed, it should look like this:
{CREATEDATE \@ "d" \*ordinal} day of {CREATEDATE \@ "MMMM, yyyy"}

I tried this; however, it did not work. Is the syntax correct?

It works for me, in both Word 2003 and 2007. In what way does it fail for you?

Did you use CTRL+F9 for the field boundaries (or insert the two fields from
the insert field dialog) or merely type them?
