How to Insert an Automatic Date Change in Word
An automatic date change is handy if you’re working on a template or letter you re-use frequently. Microsoft Word will automatically update the date in your document, so you won’t have to. You can specify the language and format for the date before inserting it. Word uses the calendar on your computer for the date. So if the calendar on your computer is wrong, the date will be too.
