More Header/Footer entries in AutoText: Last Revision Date/Time

G

Guest

Currently there is no provision in Word to record in AutoText the last time
changes or revisions have been made to a document. This is critical to
document control if there is more than one copy of a document printed and out
among the population. If we could choose this option within the AutoText
Header and Footer commands, any printed copies of a document would
automatically show the latest revision date/time just as it does for Last
Printed, Last saved by, etc.

You can create any AutoText entries you like. Using the Header or Footer
style, insert a SaveDate field, save it as an AT entry, and it will appear
on the Header and Footer toolbar menu.
