"Have been using Word to edit my webpage. Have 5 timezones I want to
automatically update the stamp every time I open the file. See it at
home comcast net ~scottalanclymer. I think the method I'm currently
using is considered a table. It's a snippit of a few columns and rows
from excel using the formulas I already had there in my daily
worksheet. But every time I open my page in Word to update it, I have
to right click the table, hit O, hit E, the table updates the formulas
from the current system time. Then I hit escape. It creates an IMAGE of
the table. Then I have to adjust the width or heighth of the image to
make it look like it's close to being normal again. It's a pain. I'd
rather be able to write the code in Word, 5 lines, utilizing the
time/date function, with offsets for the hours I need, I already have
the math done on that, and have all 5 lines update with no work on my
part each time I open the file for editing. Any takers on this
challenge?"

This is the first time I've ever posted on this site. I'm just looking for
help on the question. There's 1 reply, it's you telling me I asked twice.
I
did not. Is there help to be found here, or is it just hassle?

Have been using Word to edit my webpage for a couple years now. Have 5
timezones I want to display and automatically update every time I open
the
file to show when the page was last updated. See it at home comcast net
~scottalanclymer. I think the method I'm currently using is considered
a
table. It's a snippit of a few columns and rows from excel using the
formulas
I already had there in my daily worksheet. It is based on the premise
that 1
hour = 0.041666666666666666666666666666667 of a day. The math is very
simple.
It's just 1/24 to extract the decimal value of 1 hour. But every time I
open
my page in Word to update it, I have to right click the table, hit O,
hit
E,
the table updates the formulas from the current system time. Then I hit
escape. It creates an IMAGE of the table. Then I have to adjust the
width
or
heighth of the image to make it look like it's close to being normal
again.
It's a pain. I want to flush the whole Excel table method, and be able
to
write the code in Word, 5 lines, utilizing the time/date function, with
offsets for the hours I need. The goal is to have all 5 lines update
with
no
work on my part each time I open the file for editing.
My question in it's simplest form is:
How can I insert the date+time in a Word document, but offset by 1
hour?
