Revision Date Insert into MS Word

Is there anyway I can add a ''Revision Date'' in a Microsoft Word Document? Currently, you can add an ''Auto Date'' so when I open the document and it will then insert today's date. But, what I want to do is leave the document creation date for the footer *until* I revise the document, and *then* have the 'revision date' show up in the footer. (So, until the change is made, it should just leave the original creation date.)

Since you would be "saving" a change to the document (being a revision), you may want to look into inserting a "Field" named "SaveDate" so it will hold the date the doc was saved.

Position your cursor where you'd like the date to be in your docuemnt, then: Insert > Field... > In Field names, select SaveDate, select a format and click <OK>.

Hope this helps!

Tip

Export Word Data to Power Point
Format Word document in following manners:
1. Titles as HEADING1
2. Contents as HEADING2
3. In Office Word 2003
File Menu-->Send to --> Microsoft Office Powerpoint
Now you can see your exported presentation in newly open MS Power Point Window.

Tip: In MS Word 2007/2010 you can add Send to Microsoft Power Point Button to quick access bar as:
Office Button --> Word Options --> Customize --> Enable All tools --> Select Send to MS Office Power Point --> Add --> OK

Now you can follow the same steps in MS Word 2007 too.

From Service Pack 3 with Microsoft office 2007, how do i change my operating system to MS office 2007?
Hi, there!
As I know, MS office is a software to use for office works such as typing document, calculate and basic office database. MS Office software is NOT an operating system. You can not change you operating system to MS Office 2007. I think you meant is: Install Service Pack 3 of Microsoft Office 2007 on your computer. To do so, you first need the Microsoft Office 2007 software on your computer or you need MS Office 2007 disk. The Service Pack 3 of MS Office 2007 is the update only not the actual software to use.

Hope this will help. Thanks for reading.

Auto Correct option is not working in all MS Office Versions
When you install Microsoft Office, AutoCorrect is set by default to try to match and correct a misspelled word with a word in the main dictionary that the spelling checker uses. However, if you want to make sure this option is enabled.

Do this is Microsoft Word:

  • Click the Microsoft Office Button
  • Click Proofing.
  • Click AutoCorrect Options
  • On the AutoCorrect tab, select the Automatically use suggestions from the spelling checker check box.

Hi running word 2003 have an auto fill in the date feature installed on a fax template how do I disable it. if I open up previous documents composed the present date populates yet the document was composed...
This is caused by the document using a "field" and not an actual date. Press <ALT+F9> to see the date's field code. You will probably see: { DATE } or { DATE @ "M/d/yyyy" } (NOTE: The M/d/yyyy formatting may be different for you; since this is personal choice). You can manually delete the field and type in your date. To automate this, open the TEMPLATE (*.DOT) and change the field by using: Insert > Field... and selecting "CreateDate" from the Field names list. Also - set your desired format too and then click <OK>. Save the change to your template and it will use the date you create the fax and keep that date if the fax is saved as a document and reopened in the future.

From Word 2007 Help:

The From Scanner or Camera option for scanning documents and pictures is not available in Microsoft Office Word 2007. Instead, you can use your scanner to scan the document, and then you can save the file to your computer.

Important The first step is to install Microsoft Office Document Imaging, which is not installed by default.
