Date insertion error

T

Terry

When I use the "insert date" tool, I no longer get the
date inserted, but this:

{TIME\@"M/d/YYYY"}

I haven't changed any of the settings - it just started
appearing.

How can I get the proper insertion, i.e. 04/04/04 back?

Terry,

You need to toggle the display of field codes.

Tools>Options>View and uncheck field codes or press ALT+F9.

But {TIME\@"M/d/YYYY"} would give 4/4/2004 rather than 04/04/04. If the
latter is what is wanted, the field code needs to be edited to

{ TIME \@ "MM/dd/yy" }
