Automatic date

[chiquita]

Hi, please tell me how to set up the automatic date so that every time I use
this document it will use the currect date (March 14, 2008). I do use this
letter to also merge with my data. I am pretty frustrated and need help in
simple layman terms.
Thank you very much.

Put your cursor where you want the date and use Insert...Field...Date
- pick the format you want, click OK.

Thanks. Do I then save it? Will the date be automatic from then on when I
reopen my main letter? Appreciate your help.

For creating individual letters - insert a CREATEDATE filed where the date
is to appear and save the document as a template. New documents created from
the template will always show the date they were created.

For your letter when used as a merge document, insert a DATE field. This
will always show the system date of the PC.
