I wrote a macro that reformats a word doc. and would like to add to the bottom of the document the time it was created. Can this be done with VBA.

Hi Russ,

You need to Insert a Field of CreateDate. I just recorded this - it was easier thn coding it ..

Selection.Fields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldEmpty, Text:= _
"CREATEDATE \@ ""dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss""", PreserveFormatting:=True

Thanks, I tried this out today and it works fine. I will have to play with it to make it work the way I would like, but it does the trick.
Thanks again
