You could use a savedate field which does what it says on the tin, but it
only shows the date the document was last saved. If the edits are not saved,
they won't be recorded. And it will not automatically update unless the
document is re-opened. Therefore, either select the field and press F9 or
use a macro eg the one at http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm to
force an update.

If this is the incorrect forum for this, I apologize. I am using
Office 2003. I am createing a 'template' for a document type that my
group at work will be using. In my footer, I would like to have a
'field' that shows the last time the document was saved (i.e.
edited). There is a 'last time printed' feature which is similar, but
misses the mark as to my intent. I do not want to have to erroneously
print something just to get a field to update in the footer. Please
help me if it is possible.
