The need for multiple identifiers in one document means CreateDate will not work. You didn't mention that before.

The only way to change the CreateDate field is to use SaveAs. Changing, opening, resaving do not change it. No one inserts the field, they insert your AutoText. The field is a part of your AutoText. It is the "marker" you requested.

Instead, use a DATE field. Add something like:

{ Quote “MyAutoTextMarker” }{ DATE \@ "yyyyMMddhhmmss" }


as a part of your AutoText Entry.

When inserted, that would look like this: MyAutoTextMarker20140119101758

When the AutoText is inserted. Select it and press Ctrl+Shift+F11. (Ctrl+6 on the keyboard - not numeric keypad - does the same thing.)

Anything more automatic is going to involve a macro.

You could put a FILENAME field in there as well, but that would depend on the document already having a name before the field is unlinked.

Do what you wish.
