That will give the current date you inserted the date into the document, but not update it when you use the template later. I tried that once and it did not work.

I never tried the    =TODAY()
in my template, or know how to insert it in a Writer template. That looks like it is made for a Calc spreadsheet template.

I use the Insert Fields a lot of times. Date, Page number and count, etc., etc., for my documents, but never in a template when the date and time must be updated every time I use the template or do any editing of the document and need the date/time be reflected automatically.

Hi :)
Doesn't just
Insert - Fields - Date
do the trick?  Does that just insert the date today and then not update in the 
future?  It should update but i have a funny feeling it doesn't work as 
intended so i'm curious to know if that hasn't worked for you.

Subject: [libreoffice-users] Inserting a code for today's date

Is there any way I can insert code so that when I open a template the date is 
the date that the document is opened rather than the date it was created ?
