Default how to add date-printed at end of word document?

Is there a way to add the date-printed to the bottom of the last page of a
document (kind of like a footer, but on the final page only)?

I can insert date-printed by hand, using linefeeds to float it to the
bottom, but I'd like it to be at the bottom regardless of changes to the
document text.

thanks

You can insert a conditional page field in the footer:

{ if { page } = { numpages } { printdate \* mergeformat } }

Don't type the curly braces. Instead, press Ctrl+F9 to enter them.

thanks -- and the detail on how to enter curly braces is appreciated too.
