timer insert

[johne]

does anyone know how to insert a clock or timer in a word form document so
users can see a basic stop watch

It's technically feasible, but not practical (assuming you want the stop
watch actually to run). Word is not that sort of application. If you want
live action on screen, use an application designed for the purpose -- there
are plenty of them.

any ideas on the live view software to use.. easy the better we use alot of
word forms so it would have to bring in these forms

That's a big question, that you can't answer without taking a view on your
org's IT development. The MS route is InfoPath and SharePoint. Personally, I
think SharePoint is a crock of s**t: MS trying to impose a proprietary
standard on an increasingly open-source world. There are any number of
open-source methods, using java, javascript, perl, etc.

Or forget your stopwatch and stick to static Word docs.
