I want the date to show current date automatically when the document is
opened. I have a document in Word that does this but I do not know how it
was done.

Are you talking about Excel or Word? In Excel you need either a macro or a
formula


=TODAY()



will return the computer date


In Word it is under insert>date and time and then you need to check "update
automatically"

You put it in whichever cell you want to show the date.
And it's =NOW() if you want the cell to contain date and time, or =TODAY()
if you just want the date.

So, it has to be in a cell at the top of each page or can I have this in the
header/footer option?
