Turn off updating date fields
Hi there
I know I've read about this in many threads, but I can't seem to actually find a solution to my specific need (and I don't have good search skills) I work in an office that takes many calls and as part of a word document I put the date and time field in as an autocomplete. As in if we press two buttons it puts the date and time in as we want it. However I didn't know that this updates everytime you open up the document. I tried putting it in as a macro with the insert date time and taking the 'autoupdate field' off but this is the extra little problem. We also have an icon relating to what we want to input, a little telephone for a telephone call, fax icon for fax sent, email icon for email sent and so on. However the macro doesn't seem to want to deal with the icons, so I can put a macro in for the "insert date time" with the auto complete off, but the icon won't appear. Is there anyway I can get a simple way for the icon to appear with the time and date below of the time it was input, and have it stay like that? |

Turn off updating date fields
I'm not sure which command you are using, but apparently it is inserting a
DATE field, when it should be inserting the CREATEDATE field instead. For existing documents, do is the following: press Alt+F9 to display the field codes. You should see something similar to: { DATE }. Change the uppercase part to CREATEDATE and then press F9. To hide the field code, press Alt+F9 again. Save the file. Repeat for other affected documents. To fix the problem for new documents: Create a template where the CREATEDATE field is inserted; as new documents are created from that template you will get their creation dates properly inserted. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "MrJuggles" wrote: Hi there I know I've read about this in many threads, but I can't seem to actually find a solution to my specific need (and I don't have good search skills) I work in an office that takes many calls and as part of a word document I put the date and time field in as an autocomplete.

Turn off updating date fields
Hi there Stefan
Am I right in assuming that the only problem with that is it refers to the date the document was created, so if the contacts go over several days then the times of these calls won't be able to be recorded. I want to be able to open the document whenver I contact a person and either type something or press a button that will come up with a little logo for the type of contact and the time and date it came in. Does that make sense?

A date field will always show the system date of the PC. A CreateDate field
will always show the date the document was created. You need to insert dates as text. A macro is probably the simplest solution eg Sub InsertUSFormatDate() With Selection .InsertDateTime DateTimeFormat:="MMMM" & Chr(160) & _ "d," & Chr(160) & "yyyy", InsertAsField:=False End With End Sub In the above example Chr(160) is a non breaking space to ensure the date is always on one line.

For what you are doing, you need to insert the date as text, which can't be
done with the built-in Alt+Shift+D shortcut. You have two options: insert the DATE field as before and immediately unlink it (Ctrl+Shift+F9) or write/record a macro to perform the actions in Insert | Date and Time, with the desired format selected and the "Update automatically" box cleared (which inserts the date as text). When I recorded such a macro, the result was: Sub Macro1() ' ' Macro1 Macro ' Macro recorded Thursday, July 12, 2007 by Suzanne S. Barnhill ' Selection.InsertDateTime DateTimeFormat:="dddd, MMMM d, yyyy", _ InsertAsField:=False, DateLanguage:=wdEnglishUS, CalendarType:= _ wdCalendarWestern, InsertAsFullWidth:=False End Sub So you might play with this idea; you can, of course, assign a keyboard shortcut to your macro. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks Graham
The only problem with that is I can't get the macro to insert a picture as well, not one from a file. At the moment you can put these little pictures/clip art in an autocorrect option. If there's a way I can get a macro to insert a picture too, then we can input these entries with one keypress. thanks again for all your help and patience, I'm not a technophobe, but there are gaps in my knowledge.

I don't know which icons you have used so far but maybe you could use a
character from e.g. the Wingdings font. Then you could have a macro for each "icon" type - something like the following (adjust the date and time format as needed): Sub DateTime_Phone() With Selection 'Insert date and time - adjust the format af needed .InsertDateTime DateTimeFormat:="M/d/yyyy h:mm:ss am/pm", _ InsertAsField:=False 'Insert paragraph mark .TypeText Chr(13) 'Insert Phone - replace CharacterNumber for other icons .InsertSymbol Font:="Wingdings", _ CharacterNumber:=40, _ Unicode:=False End With End Sub You could e.g. use chr(42) for mail and chr(50) for fax. -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "MrJuggles" wrote: Thanks Graham The only problem with that is I can't get the macro to insert a picture as well, not one from a file.

Sorry, I feel like a bit of a heel for going on.
I do get the idea of a macro for the inserting the details I want, and it works perfectly. The only problem is this, the macro doesn't instert a log or icon or let me do so. I would like the icon above the date and time so we can recognise the type of contact we have (phone, email, letter, home visit) Thanks again Mr Juggles "Suzanne S.

Thanks for all the great replies. I'm going to get around to trying them this
weekend and I'll let you know which one worked for me. I've just re-read all the posts and realised I missed a respone or two so I have a few ideas to try. Graham, the source of my origional icon was just a downloaded clipart, but then I resized in, highlighted it and used that as an auto correct option. Keeps your fingers crossed all, and thanks aagin for the help, I'll let you know what happens |

Yahey It's done, it works, at last. I had a little problem with the macro but I searched around and found it wasn't saving. But I've learnt how to save it to the file I want it to. That feels good.
