Date sync-ing in slide master

[Guest]

I'm wondering whether there's any way to have a date in a slide master be
tied to the file creation or last modified date, such that it automatically
updates when the creation or modification date changes.

Thank you.

Hi
If i understood ur problem correctly, u need a date in ur slides which shows
the updated or current date whenever you open, without manually entering.

In such case, open your slide master. You will be having title master and
master slides. Select either title master or master slide where you want the
date to come and make a text field in your reqd. place, go to insert menu and
select date and time, check the option "update automatically" and close the
dialog box by clicking ok.

Hope this will answer your question. If not please let me know, will try to
answer again.

If you click auto update the date and time will change continuously as the
show is run. It only takes a second to just use insert date when you update.

Thanks Prasant and John.

Actually, what I'm hoping to capture is not the current date or date when
presentation is opened (to view, but not change), but the "last modified"
date, without having to manually insert a new date upon each update. This
date show up in File/Properties option, but I don't know if there's any way
to have the date in the master slide sync'd up to this date (and only change
upon a modification/new save).

Hope this clarifies my question. Thank you!

You would have to use vba for this

use variablename = filedatetime(path to file) structure
