Hi Drewmyster,
To see how to do this and just about everything else you might want to do with dates in Word, check out my Date Calc 'tutorial', at:
http://www.wopr.com/cgi-bin/w3t/show...?Number=249902
or
http://www.gmayor.com/downloads.htm#Third_party
In particular, look at the item titled 'Insert A Date With Text Using A Formula Field'. You can probably get away with simply
copying & pasting either of the fields there - at most you might need to edit the field coding to use the document's CREATEDATE,
PRINTDATE or SAVEDATE values instead of the (current) DATE.
Cheers

Hi,
I'm a MS Word 2007 user, and I'm simply trying to display the current
date in the following format;
Thursday 14th February 2008
The problem is with the ordinal charector "14th" as it fails to work
each time.
The formula I've been using for the remainder of the date is as
follows;
DATE \@ "dddd dd MMMM yyyy"
but I want it to include DATE \@ "d" \*ordinal.
I've tried DATE \@ "dddd d \*ordinal MMMM yyyy" but this does not
work.
Any help is appreciated.
