Printing "Insert Date" Field - Wit's End
Hi
I am having a weird problem in Word 2003 Sp1 It has to do with the Insert Date & Time option from the insert menu It has to do with older documents saved with older dates (for example, a document comes up with Nov 20, 2004) When we go to print, it automatically inserts todays date. I doublechecked the field to ensure "Update Automatically" was not checked off As well, in the print options, I made sure that update fields options was unselected as well. It keeps changing the date to the current date!! I even copy the old word doc text into a new one and it still happens. Even when you do a print preview Any suggestions please Ian |

You are using a DATE or TIME field rather than a CREATEDATE field. This
field should be put in the original template if possible. In the document in question, press Alt-F9 to display field codes. Then change the field to a CREATEDATE field, press F9 and then Alt-F9. See http://addbalance.com/word/datefields1.htm for information on the different kinds of datefields and how to format them. The "automatically update" box works only when the field is inserted. If it is a Date or Time field it is set to automatically update. -- 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://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
