Re: [libreoffice-users] Inserting a code for today's date

That will give the current date you inserted the date into the document, 
but not update it when you use the template later.  I tried that once 
and it did not work.

I never tried the    =TODAY()
in my template, or know how to insert it in a Writer template. That 
looks like it is made for a Calc spreadsheet template.

I use the Insert Fields a lot of times.  Date, Page number and count, 
etc., etc., for my documents, but never in a template when the date and 
time must be updated every time I use the template or do any editing of 
the document and need the date/time be reflected automatically.
