Syntax

InsertDateTime [.DateTimePic = text] [, .InsertAsField = number]

Remarks

Inserts the current date, time, or both, as either text or a TIME field.

Argument

Explanation

.DateTimePic

A string describing the format used for displaying the date, time, or both. If omitted, Word uses the format specified by the "DateFormat=" line in the [Microsoft Word] section of WINWORD6.INI (Windows 3.x), Word Settings (6) (Macintosh), or the registry (Windows 95 and Windows NT). In Windows 3.x, if there is no "DateFormat=" line, Word uses the "sShortDate" setting in the [intl] section of WIN.INI.

.InsertAsField

Specifies whether Word inserts the information as a TIME field:

0 (zero) Word inserts the information as text.

1 Word inserts the information as a TIME field.

Omitted Word inserts the information according to the current setting of the Insert As Field check box in the Date And Time dialog box (Insert menu).


Example

This example inserts a TIME field for the current date in the form "3 September, 1993":


InsertDateTime .InsertAsField = 1, .DateTimePic = "d MMMM, yyyy"
