Why does my time stamp change when I reopen my Word document?
I am a trainer doing observations in teachers' classrooms. When I time stamp
my Word document, and then close it to finish it later, the time stamp changes from the time when I stamped it, to the current time when I re-open the document. How do I contine to work on my Word document I started previously, and keep the times stamped without updating them to the current time it is when I re-open the document? |

Not sure what you mean by "time stamp." If you mean you insert a date and
time using Insert, Date & Time, make sure you don't have a check mark in the block for Update Automatically. For putting dates on documents that are created from templates inserting a field is usually more efficacious. But if you actually want to insert the current date and time in a document, perhaps several different time in the same document (e.g. in a log recording your observation as a particular time) I don't think fields will be too useful.

You are inserting a date or time field which reflects the system date or
time of the computer. In order to insert fixed times, the simplest method is to use a macro attached to a keyboard shortcut or to a custom toolbar button. http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm The following should do the trick Sub TimeNow() Selection.InsertBefore Format((Time), "hh:mm am/pm") End Sub -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Teacher In Kansas wrote: I am a trainer doing observations in teachers' classrooms.
