For a Document Used on Various Days
If you want to print the letter again tomorrow, the date will not be current. Instead, you can insert a special code called a field that automatically inserts the current date whenever you print the document. To do so:
1. Choose Insert | Date and Time. This reveals the dialog box.
2. Choose the correct format for the date and/or time. If you want to insert the date as a field that Word will update automatically, select the check box for Update Automatically. Click OK.
3. The date (or time) is inserted in the document. If you selected the Update Automatically check box, the date appears with a shaded gray background when you click it. This indicates that it is a field, not regular text. It will not print in gray.
4. If you want to see the field code riding behind this feature, press Alt+F9 and Alt+F9 again to show the date again.
That's it!
