Does anyone know how to (if it is even possible) have a
different "page last
updated" date on each page of a document. I am working on
a "how-to" manual
and would like each page to reflect the exact date that
page was last
changed. For example if the manual is 90 pages, and page 7
was last changed
on March 23, 2002, and page 81 was last updated on January
16, 2001, is
there a way to have each page show that information (and
update the date
automatically).
The "last saved on " date reflects the date the entire
document was last
saved, I want each page to be able to reflect the date
that specific page
was last changed.

THANKS!

Hi Michelle,

There is really little concept of "pages" in Word. What would you do with
the pages following a page on which a revision in the text was made that
caused the page break to appear in a different place?

The best thing for you to do is probably use a footnote in which you place
the date of the revision to some text. That will stay on the same page as
the revised text if you follow the information in the article

"Why do my footnotes sometimes end up on a different page from their
references in the text? or, I don't want my footnotes broken and continued
on the next page; I want the whole footnote on the same page. How do I do
that?" at:

Please respond to the newsgroups for the benefit of others who may be
interested.

Hope this helps
