How can I insert a timezone (eg GMT) into a SaveDate field
I want to display the date/time a document was last changed but also include
the time zone the user changing it was in eg I would like to display a time as 12:30GMT or 17:15EST. I can't see an option in the formats that would allow this to happen - any ideas? Tnanks Jim |

How can I insert a timezone (eg GMT) into a SaveDate field
Hi Jim,
Word doesn't have any field-based support for time zones. If you need that functionality, you'd need some vba code to get those properties from the system. Alternatively, you could hijack one of the DOCPROPERTY fields (see under File|Properties) and put a standard GMT offset in there. You could then use that directly, or use a formula field to convert that plus the system time into a GMT-equivalent time. To see what would be involved with the formula field, check out my Date Calc 'tutorial', at: http://www.wopr.com/cgi-bin/w3t/show...?Number=249902 or http://www.gmayor.com/downloads.htm#Third_party In particular, look at the item titled 'Automatically Calculate A Past Or Future Time of Day' - which you might also need to combine with one of the field to 'Automatically Insert A Past Or Future Date'.
