Currently working with word 2003 in Windows XP O/S, even though I don't enter
a date or time on the document it appears on the top of the page on every and
any document. try as I may I am unable to remove it. could some one enlighten
please me on how this done. Searches in word 2003 HELP proved to be
fruitless. I thought it might have been a printer problem but I use word 2003
with Vista and 2000 on the same PC and it doesn't happen. Thanx for your
anticipated assistance.
 
Hi Scampy, Have you checked your header? Maybe there's something in your
header. That's in the Insert plop-down menu I think.
 
Hey lolocowboy,
Thanx for trying but I couldn't find anything in the headers. I suspect the
date and time printed out on every document is at the very top of the pages
making it higher than a header entry
 
In that case it is likely something added by your printer. Check the printer
Properties.

I have checked the printer proerties several times this does not appear to be
the problem, Thanx
 
With Word closed, rename normal.dot to normal.old. Restart Word and create a
new document. Is the date on that one?

Hey Graham Mayor,
I did as you suggested but the date/time is still on any document I print
even if I print a blank document or email etc.
 
In that case the date is being added by a setting in the printer driver.
Check with the printer manufacturer (or read the manual).

Hey Graham Mayor,
All aspects of the printer has been checked numerous times, and that doesn't
appear to be the problem, Thanx anyway
 
Is there any sort of document management system in use?

There doesn't appear to be an answer to my problem as there has been no
suggestions to fix it posted for a few days. None have worked so far surely
there is a smart computer software (viz: microsoft word) wiz out there that
can help me.
Thanx for all previous assistance even though they didn't work
 
Send a sample doc to my email and I'll take a look.
