Date

[Mike & Mary Normile]

I would like to put the date that changes daily as the page is looked at -
something that I can adjust for font, size and text color as I see fit - is
there something in FrontPage that will do this or do I need to learn
JavaScript to tackle this task!
Thanks in advance!
Mike

It can be done with JavaScript:

Long date: http://javascript.internet.com/clocks/date-time-long.html

The following will do what you want, but you will have to go to HTML and
insert this where you want it to go. If you want it to center the page just
add <center> before the 1st line and </center> after the last line.
