today's date in html document- Possible?

B

QUESTION Is it possible to always have the current date show up in a document
that has not recently been saved, when using the htm format? I have tried the
Insert > Date & Time > Update automatically feature. However, it only updates
when last saved. PROBLEM - The document is actually generated the evening
before, so the date is always one day behind when people pull the document up
the next morning. Any suggestions?

SPECIFICS - I am trying to generate a daily bulletin using Word 2007 that
will be saved in html format. Our co-workers will launch the daily bulletin
from their Start Menu. The person actually doing the updating to the document
is only using Word, not a web-authoring program, which I realize, would be
infinitily superior. Our only option at this point is Word, saving in html
format.

ADDITIONAL - I have this JavaScript that I have used on web pages I have
created, that update a date nicely, if that is any help at all.

<script language="JavaScript">
document.write(doClock("W0",",%20","M0","%20","D0",",%20","Y0")); </script>

But from other posts, it sounds like it is not possible to use any html code
in Word html formatted docs.

I hope I have been complete in my request for information. Thank you for
your help.
