) | Letterhead system.
This is a system for self-updating letter forms.
 The idea is to have
letterhead components stored in one location and have letter forms
reference that location when used so that form letters will have the
latest letterhead information. If you are generating your letterhead on
the computer or if your letter forms need to accommodate pre-printed
letterhead, you should look at this! - Last updated 10-Jul-2001 - Version

DateLoader Add-In
- In Word Alt-Shift-D inserts a Date field (4/15/2004) that updates every
time you open or print a document. Most uses work better with a CreateDate
field that gives you the current date when you insert it and remains that
same date. When used in a template, it is updated when a new document is created.
Also, people may prefer a long date rather than the short date. This Add-In
substitutes a long format (April 15, 2004) CreateDate field. It also has
instructions for changing the format and has several options. For details on
datefields take a look at Using Date Fields
in Microsoft Word. (template in 8K zip folder, no macros or code, Version 1.0) Download DateLoader Add-In Now | ||||||||
