Document Version Information
Is there a way to automatically include document version information in the
header? Specifically the version information like date and time of the current version of the document. |

If that information is stored in a field-accessible document property, you
can use a document property field to insert it. For example, open a document and choose File - Properties, and explore what you see, particularly in he Custom tab. In addition to the properties you see there, you can define additional properties, e.g., one you might call Version. In order for this solution to work, someone has to remember to set the properties, you can help them remember with Tools - Options - Save - Prompt for Document Properties. Once you've identified the properties you wnat in the header, choose View - Header and Footer. Put the insertion point where you want it, then choose Insert - Field. Set Field Name to DocProperty, then choose the desired properties from the list shown. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along. "jbeck" wrote in message ...

You can use a savedate field. See http://addbalance.com/word/datefields1.htm
for information on the different kinds of datefields and how to format them. This does not automatically update and will never be correct though in that after you update the field, if you save the file, the date will need to be updated. If in a header or footer, though, it should update when you print or do a print preview. Otherwise, you can use custom document properties and a docproperty field. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
