Update auto checked but date and time do not update when I reopen
I am inserting the date and time into a Word document using the following
steps. 1 Click the location where you want the date or time to appear. 2 On the Insert menu, click Date and Time. 3 Click the date or time with the format you want. 4 select the Update automatically check box. 5 Click OK. I am then saving the document and when I reopen it the time does not change even though I selected a time format with seconds in it. Does anyone know why it is not automatically updating even though Update automatically is selected? What else do I need to do to have it update the time and date automatically. Any help is appreciated Thank you |

Fields need a trigger to update. Try clicking into the date and pressing F9
to update the date/time. There are settings in the Print configuration dialog box which you can use as a trigger to automatically update fields.
