Hello guys,
I have created a to do list in MS Word. Before I print it
out I have to insert the date using the insert drop down menu. Is there
a way I can automate word to do this for me automatically when I open
the document ? Are there word macros the same way that there are excel
macros ? Any, help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Nick

Put a date field in the template that you create your to do list from.

CTRL+F9 and type DATE inside the { } toggle field codes and you should be
set.

A CREATEDATE field would probably be a better choice.
