[Robb H]

Is there a way to use this format in word using the date
and time, ie... DD MMM YY TTMMhrs (25 Oct 04 1300hrs)if
not can you eplain how to make this happen.

Thanks

The correct date/time picture switch is \@ dd MMM yy HHmm. So your field
would be:

{ DATE \@ "dd MMM yy HHmm'hrs" }

Note that the entire picture switch is enclosed in double quotes and the
"hrs" in single quotes (to indicate that it is literal text). You could
equally well use

{ DATE \@ dd MMM yy HHmm }hrs

with the "hrs" part outside the field.

{CreateDate \@ "dd MMM yy hhmm"}hrs

See http://addbalance.com/word/datefields1.htm for information on the
different kinds of datefields and how to format them.
