How can I change the field code for time from "PM" to "p.m." and make it stay
that way when the time is updated? |

See footnote 2 in http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/DateFields.htm. Note
that, although the AM and PM boxes have arrows and appear to be dropdown list boxes, they're not. You have to type in the format you want. -- Suzanne S.

Add a lowercase switch ie
{ Time \@ "hh:mm am/pm" \*lower} http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org dajjws wrote: How can I change the field code for time from "PM" to "p.m." and make it stay that way when the time is updated? |

Ah, a better solution. Knew there had to be one! But will it add the
periods? -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ...

Something like
{ TIME \@ "hh:mm '{ IF { TIME \@HH } 12 "a.m." "p.m." }'" } ought to do it but I wouldn't like to get caught up in the argument about what you should do for noon and midnight :-) (all the {} need to be the special field code braces you can enter using ctrl-F9) -- Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk "Suzanne S.

Yep. How many people know that M (or m.) = noon?

Well, right. And those seem to be increasingly few.
