Time and Date

To insert the current date and/or time:

  1. Choose the Date & Time command in the Insert menu.
  2. In the Date & Time dialog choose the format and location for the record on the page. The date/time record is composed from special symbols that are replaced with the actual date and/or time by the program.
  3. Click OK.

If you don't like the pre-defined location for the date/time text box, drag it to any location on the page with the mouse.

To change size, color and font, use controls from the Text tab of the Inspector.

If you need to add date/time onto several pages that have a common master page, add the date/time box onto the master. For this, set the Place on Master Page option. The option is enabled when the current page has its own master page.

The date/time information can be inserted into own text box or into existing text box. When the program is in the text editing mode, the date/time information is inserted into the current cursor position in the text box you are editing.

The date/time box is updated automatically by the program to reflect actual date and/or time. This happen when you open the document, edit page content or move to the page containing a date/time box.

Note: A date/time record can be added as a separate text box as well as into an existing text box. The program can update date/time when the information is added as a separate text box.
