How do I insert a variable for the current date into the footer of my document?
Follow these steps:
- Insert a footer, if needed, by choosing Insert > Footer > Default.
- With the cursor in the footer area, choose Insert > Fields > Other.
- In the dialog that appears, select the DocInformation tab.
- To update the footer each time the document is modified, select Modified in the Type list. Other choices are Last Printed, Created, etc.
- In the Select list, click Date.
- In the Format list, click on the date format desired.
- Make sure that the check box next to 'Fixed content' is not checked.
- Click Insert.
- Click Close.
You should now see the current date. If you see the name of the date field, select: View > Fields (to turn off the check mark next to this choice). If you see nothing, it may be because you have not yet saved your document for the first time.
