MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / July 2004Word date field not updating
In Word 2000, I have a mail merge document that has the standard Word date field inserted in it. It is set up to update automatically, yet it is not doing this. What could be causing this and how might I fix it. Thanks, Russell Campbell Not certain, but is it the \@ flag that makes the date field update automatically...? {TIME \@ "MM/dd/yyyy"} >-----Original Message----- >In Word 2000, I have a mail merge document that has the standard Word date [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > >. No, it is not. That tells Word that you want the date to display in the given format.

This updates and freezes at the new date. See http://addbalance.com/word/datefields1.htm for information on the different kinds of datefields and how to format them.
