Automatic date
Hi, please tell me how to set up the automatic date so that every time I use
this document it will use the currect date (March 14, 2008). I do use this letter to also merge with my data. I am pretty frustrated and need help in simple layman terms. Thank you very much. Chiquita |

Chiquita Put your cursor where you want the date and use Insert...Field...Date - pick the format you want, click OK. |

Automatic date
Thanks. Do I then save it? Will the date be automatic from then on when I
reopen my main letter? Appreciate your help.

Automatic date
For creating individual letters - insert a CREATEDATE filed where the date
is to appear and save the document as a template. New documents created from the template will always show the date they were created. For your letter when used as a merge document, insert a DATE field. This will always show the system date of the PC. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org chiquita wrote: Hi, please tell me how to set up the automatic date so that every time I use this document it will use the currect date (March 14, 2008).
