How do I make the time and date of a page in OneNote auto-update? Jeffry Pennock 06.07.2006 21:08:01 I want the time and date at the top of the page in OneNote to auto-update when I make changes to that page. Is there a way to set that up to happen automatically?

"Erik Sojka (MVP)" <esojka[ at ]ms-onenote.net.nospam> 07.07.2006 00:37:27 That can't be done, as it kinda defeats the purpose of having a timestamp. You can either make new pages (which would have new timestamps) when you add content, or use the KB shortcuts (Alt-Shift-T, Alt-Shift-D, or Alt- Shift-F) to add a manual timestamp inline as you add content to a page. In ON 2007 content is timestamped more frequently, and the context menu will tell you when a particular paragraph was modified. =?Utf-8?B?SmVmZnJ5IFBlbm5vY2s=?= <Jeffry Pennock[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in news:721CBCF1-C1B9-45E9-AAC2-AEA505C43F34[ at ]microsoft.com: [Quoted Text] > I want the time and date at the top of the page in OneNote to > auto-update when I make changes to that page.

Re: How do I make the time and date of a page in OneNote auto-upda Jeffry Pennock 07.07.2006 14:01:02 It doesn't defeat the purpose of having a timestamp. In word processors, you can insert a timestamp in the footer/header/etc. that auto-updates everytime the document is printed or saved which is helpful because it lets you know when the document was last updated and it lets you know which is the most recent version of the document when you've got multiple hardcopies of the document. But regardless of what merrit it might or might not have, I guess you're telling me is this isn't a designed feature of OneNote. Is there a way I can make this happen (e.g., copy/paste an auto-updating timestamp from Word) as a work-around? Thanks for your help.

You might want to try "Phrase Express". It has a macro for DateTime. I just downloaded the free version and it worked pretty well. I had to "right click" and Paste, but then it seemed to directly insert a DateTime stamp.

For sure an intresting piece of software. Too bad that we have not got an "Autotext" feature in ON :-( :-( Still: a) It will not do what Jeffry is having in mind (a timestamp being automatically updated); b) Inserting a timestamp is built-in in ON 07: Insert | Date and Time / Alt+Shift+F ; c) It's even easier in PhraseExpress: Just a click on the icon in the IconTray and select the item (It will be in the Clipboard so that pasting for multiple usage is possible).
