Default Revision Date

I have a protected form I created as a template. I have inserted a form
field that shows the create date, but I also need to show the date of the
most recent revision. Because some people may save the document without
making any changes, I can't use the save date. Is there any way I can track
the revision date? I appreciate any help you can give.

Default Revision Date

You can do it semi-automatically by inserting a custom document property. See
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/general/DisplayVersions.htm for the general idea.

Default Revision Date


I tried this and it displayed a revision number. Is there any way to insert
a revision date instead? I am like the OP. I can insert a "last save date",
but if I save the document without changing it, my purpose will be defeated.
I would love to insert a date when the document is actually revised/changed
that will update automatically.

I have to distribute pages for a bi-weekly for reference, but if the pages
aren't actually changed, there is no sense in the participants spending 15
minutes or so inserting the pages into their page protected manuals. I am
afraid I will forget to manually change the date when I revise it.

TIA!!!!!!!!!!!!
