When you insert a header, the following information is displayed:
{ AUTHOR } Page { PAGE } {DATE \@ "M/d/yyyy" }
When you try and view that in print preview, you see:
{ AUTHOR } Page { PAGE } {DATE \@ "M/d/yyyy" }
not
Page 1 3/1/2005.
I've tried hitting ALT+F9, and that forces a change, but when I try to print
it out, it is still { AUTHOR } Page { PAGE } {DATE \@ "M/d/yyyy" }.
Has anyone had a problem like this?
