Recovering Date a Document Was Created
When I inserted a date in my Word 2003 document, I put a check mark in
"Update automatically." Now I need to know when the document was created. Is that information available somewhere in the document, and can I recover that creation date? |

Depending on your version of Windows, there will be a date created field somewhere there. |

Press Alt+F9 to display the field code. Edit the DATE field to read
CREATEDATE. Alt+F9 again and F9 to update. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Guy Delaney" wrote in message ...

But, I could not seem to save it, except in txt form. Is there some type of block on saving it, or is it just my system? Opera 9.64 on Win98 Perhaps, a pdf form available? |

AFAIK, it's just an ordinary Web page. It does include shared borders, but
you should be able to copy the main portion of the text and paste it into a Word doc. -- Suzanne S.

I posted the question to the Opera group, too. ctrl-c the imagery and transferring into .doc using ctrl-v did not work, either. Might as well done the .txt list |

Recent versions of Word can be sticky about pasting images. In my
experience, Word 2003 is just slow (it doesn't actually refuse for me, as some users experience). And if a simple paste doesn't work, it should be possible to use Paste Special. But if I use File | Save As and choose either .mht (Web Archive, single file) or .htm (Webpage, complete) in Internet Explorer, I get exactly what I would expect in Word. I do have "Confirm conversion at open" enabled, so I get a dialog asking me to confirm that the file is a Web page, but it then opens with all content present and accounted for. -- Suzanne S.
