Date after saving as Web Page
We are using a date field to state that a printed document after the day
printed expires within 3 days. I am using a "live" date in Word which shows the current date. Works fine in Word. After saving the document as a Web Page (.htm) file the date becomes static, it never updates to the current date. Am I doing something wrong or does the We Page (.htm) file date not work the same? If not, is there a work around? -- Thanks for any help, Mark |

You will have to open the file in Word; otherwise, the date will appear as
static text. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Mark" wrote: We are using a date field to state that a printed document after the day printed expires within 3 days.

Defeats the purpose of saving it as an .htm file doesn't it?

Well, the capabilities of Word as an HTML editor are limited.
Also, there are other means to include dates on web pages: JavaScript, ActiveX. (I don't know how it's done or which is better, though.) -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Mark" wrote in message ...

(I don't know how it's done or which is better, though.) Word and/or Front Page used ActiveX for this function. It's best accomplished server side, rather than contained in the html. |

Popup blockers become a problem with ActiveX & Java scripting because of what
is installed on the system side of things. Very strict, large environment. Having it as part of the Word/webpage format is the simplest solution. It just seems to me that if the date field can be "live" in the Work document it should be "live" when saved in webpage format. I appreciate the comments. Will try a different path. -- Thanks for any help, Mark "Mark" wrote: We are using a date field to state that a printed document after the day printed expires within 3 days.
