Inserting Special Characters
You can insert special characters in a document that display dates, times,
andnumbers. Special characters are useful because they save you from
typing andcalculating information. For example, if you want the current
date in a letter template to be updated each day, use a special character
insteadof retyping the date.
A page break is another kindof special character. For more information,
see Page Breaks" in this chapter. You can search a document for these
special characters. For more information, see Finding and Replacing Text"
on page 97.
Inserting the current date
You can insert the current date in a document. You might do this to put a
date at the top of a letter or in a memo. You can specify either of two
formats: longhandor numeric. Alternatively, you can insert special date
characters to add the current date in a different format. For more
information, see Inserting Special Dates" in this section.
