Embedding a date

[James D Carroll]

I'd like to create a template merge document that has a date in it of the
form

the 1st of October, 2003

in a document. I know about the autodate but that form isn't availible,
plus once the merged document is created and saved to disk it can't change
to the current date like the auto date thing does.

Is this even possible? If so could you shed some light on how it could be
done?

I'm using Word 97.

Thanks!!!

Hi James, check out the downloadable file at:

This document has many examples of date manipulation using
fields, including one that does what you're after.
