Word macro: set automatic date in a table cell

[adisl]

Is it possible to create a macro that inserts a date before the text, each time you write something new in a table cell, after you have saved?. For example in column 3.



column 1 | column 2 | 21.04.2014 text, text, text, text.

Not unless you're using 'Track Changes' and, even then, updating a cell after you've saved seems pretty pointless, since the update won't have been saved, meaning you'll have to save again to retain it and that will trigger a new round of updating the cell and saving, ad infinitum...

The idea is that there will always be a date before each new event that is written in the same cell. It could of course be written manually, but when there are several different people using the same document, it is often forgotten</SPAN>

before each new event that is written in the same cell.

I think we understand what you want, but it remains a fact that typing something into the cell is not a useable (triggerable) event.

Ok thanks for reply

What you could do is have a small macro that you fire with, say, a keyboard shortcut. It could insert your date. So type your text and then your shortcut.

Dim r As Range
Set r = Selection.Range.Cells(1).Range
r.Collapse 1
r.Fields.Add r, Type:=wdFieldDate

This was a good idea that will work
Thanks a lot
