Quoting from the Frame 5.5 manual (seems I heard those same words recently)
page 12-12 - Default values for System Variables Most of the system variables can be inserted in any text frame on a body, reference or master page. The Current Page # and Running H/F 1, Running H/F 2, Running H/F 3, Running H/F 4 variables can inserted only in a background text frame on a master page. Current Date (Long) <$monthname> <$daynum>, <$year> October 11, 1996 Current Date (Short) <$monthnum> <$daynum>, <$shortyear> 10/11/96 Happy Easter, Dave S.

I inserted a variable for "Creation date (long)" in my master page footer and it displays July 1998. Where is the feature to allow me to specify a desired month and year? -- Kenpo in Atlanta _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to framers as [email protected].
