Hey this will be a good tip if and when I decide to learn to use pages. I still am very stubborn about that and plan to write my 30 page paper in ituxt express assuming that I don't need foot notes, or end notes. We'll se what the chagago manual of writing says as I need to learn that in order to pass this class.
Good tip on the date though and I can see where this can come in handy.. Example writing a memo that needs to be updated every once in a while with a date but the text remains unchanged. Take care all.
