Can you make the date field on a fax coversheet update automatical
In the past, I had a fax coversheet that I used from a template on Microsoft
Online. The date field on that sheet would automatically update to that particular day's date everytime I used it. Evidently there was a setting that allowed this to occur, so what was it? What do I manipulate to make the date field automatically update itself everyday? |

Can you make the date field on a fax coversheet update automatical
Usually the template contains a CreateDate field, which updates only upon
creation. If you're reusing documents, you may want a Date field, but you'd do better to create new documents based on the template instead. Press Alt+F9 to see which field code you have. If you don't see a field code, it's because the field has been overwritten by plain text. -- Suzanne S.

Hi Jenna,
Depending on your preferences, you might want to use a DATE or PRINTDATE field. The DATE field updates every time the document is opened, while the PRINTDATE field updates only when the document is printed. The CREATEDATE field only shows when the document was created, or saved using 'Save As'. Cheers "jena" wrote in message ...
