MS Office Forum / Word / Web Authoring / September 2004how to insert today's date
How do I have today's date automatically insert into a document everytime when this document is opened or printed. Thank you. Hi Agy, You posted this in the web authoring in Word newsgroup so not sure what your requirement is but you can use Insert=>Date or Insert=>Field to have Word set the document to update the date data when the document is opened/printed ======== How do I have today's date automatically insert into a document everytime when this document is opened or printed. Thank you. <<  SignatureLet us know if this helped you, Bob Buckland ?:-) MS Office System Products MVP *Courtesy is not expensive and can pay big dividends* Office 2003 Editions explained http://www.microsoft.com/uk/office/editions.mspx I tried using insert date, but it only insert today's date.

I haven't a clue if it will work in a Word HTML web page or not. 1) Open html page with NotePad 2) Open a second NotePad and copy the following html into that Notepad 3) Date html: <p>; This site was last updated on <!--webbot bot="Timestamp" S-Type="EDITED" S-Format="%m/%d/%y" --> </p> 4) Copy from second NotePad to first Notepad (with html page open) 5) Save html page 6) upload and test OK, that is html. But what about in a Words .doc document? > Here's the Current Date componet from FrontPage. > I haven't a clue if it will work in a Word HTML web page or not.

That did not suit your needs and I provided an alternative option. If you'd rather continue seeking an implementation of something that apparently does NOT exist in Word created web pages, by all means continue exploration. Or? Create your Word web page and edit the html with what I previously supplied with NotePad. OK, understood. Thank you. I will switch to WordPerfect to replace Microsoft Words. Hi Agy, In Word, for a .DOC file, when you use Insert=>Date check the box for "Update Automatically" in that dialog before you insert the date. ===== I tried using insert date, but it only insert today's date.

But when this Words is opened by the receiptents in later dates, it does not updated itself.

The way Word updates .DOC file dates is by using a 'field' (Insert=>Field). Each user has the option to have those fields updated or not when a document is opened. If the user chooses to turn off the update option the date will not automatically update (Tools=>Options=>General) If you're sending HTML email in Word the Word HTML file retains the date field in case it's reopened in Word, but it will be seen as plain text in other email clients software. ==== I think Words only insert the date, when the box is checked [x] update automatically.

Readers will be able to print the document with the date it was printed. Hi Agy, Then using Insert=>Date & Time or Insert=>Field and choosing the date field will work, but not if the person receiving the document has turned off the option to update fields either on file open or on print in Tools=>Options ====== I am looking for a Words document with today's date when opened. Readers will be able to print the document with the date it was printed. >> SignatureLet us know if this helped you, Bob Buckland ?:-) MS Office System Products MVP *Courtesy is not expensive and can pay big dividends* Office 2003 Editions explained http://www.microsoft.com/uk/office/editions.mspx
