Luckily, there is an easy way to insert a field into your
Word document that will give you an automatic date update every time
that you open the document. First, of course, open your document.
Next, click in your document where you’d like the date. Then click the
INSERT tab on your tools ribbon.
Find DATE AND TIME and click it.
This opens the date and time dialog box. On the left, click the
format in which you want the date. Once you’ve selected this, click the
UPDATE AUTOMATICALLY tic box.
Click OK, and once you save your document, you’ll have a date there that updates every time you open the document.
As a bonus, here’s how to do the same thing in an Excel spreadsheet.
As a bonus, here’s how to do the same thing in an Excel spreadsheet.
Open your spreadsheet, choose the cell where you want the date and
enter the formula =TODAY(). This will give you a cell with the current
date that updates every time you open the spreadheet!
I hope that this helps.
