how do i set a reacuring date on a document?
Are to trying to 'fix' the date to the date the document was created or
saved? If so, use a 'CREATEDATE' or 'SAVEDATE' field. If you want the date to automatically update to the date the document is printed, use a 'PRINTDATE' field. Or, if you just want the document to show today's date. use a plain 'DATE' field. So many possibilities. To create one of these fields, type the name as indicated above, select it, press Ctrl-F9, then press F9. Using the 'DATE' field as an example This will give you: DATE { DATE } 28/10/2005 or 10/28/2005, depending on your regional settings. If you want to change the date format, add a date picture switch after 'DATE' (you can toggle the field code via Shift-F9). For example: { DATE \@ "dddd, d MMMM yyyy"}, or { DATE \@ ", d MMMM yyyy"}, or { DATE \@ "d MMM yyyy"}, or { DATE \@ "dd/MMM/yyyy"}, or { DATE \@ "d-MM-yy"} If you want a calculated date (ie a future or past date), see my 'tutorial at: http://www.wopr.com/cgi-bin/w3t/show...?Number=249902 Cheers "welker_daniel" wrote in message ...

With total respect for macropd's accurate & illustrative response, if you are
not one who uses fields regularly, you might prefer to: Go to InsertField, select Date & Time for the top list, select the appropriate type of Date field, pick a format, then click OK.

Hi CyberTaz,
Yes, I should remember that most users would find the Insert|Field or Insert|Date and Time processes simpler ... Cheers "CyberTaz" wrote in message ...
