Many fields no longer update automatically, but if you use Save As, the
CreateDate should change, and you can update it with F9 or by printing or switching to Print Preview. -- Suzanne S.

"Mary Gudobba" wrote in message ... DOCPROPERTY seems like it will work, with one problem. One of the things the client wants is a date. I tried using the create date, because I don't want it to change every day, but I DO want it to change if I save the document with a new name. It seems to be keeping the original create date. I don't want to use a save date, because of the way word asks you if you want to save changes after you print (we have update field on print turned on) and I don't want users to be confused and save it again, when all they did was print it. The documents are large commercial leases and purchase agreements. Some have as many as 100 pages, and 20 sections. "Robert M. Franz" wrote in message ... Hello Mary Mary Gudobba wrote: Our client has asked that the name of the document and some other information be included in the footer on every page. Unfortunately, this information is something that has to be manually inserted. I wrote a macro that inserts part of the language needed and the user has to complete the rest. What I want to do, is have this information print on every page of every section, but I don't want a page number on page 1 of section 1, or most likely on any of the pages of the following sections. I don't want users to have to manually insert this information more than once. I tried applying a style to the information on the first page and then tried to include it in the footer on the second page using the same mergeformat command I use to put names in the header of a second page of a letter, but it seems that since the style only appears in the footer, it doesn't work. Is there an easy way to do this? A DOCPROPERTY would be my first shot. HTH Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MS \ / | MVP X Against HTML | for / \ in e-mail & news | Word |
