Time/Date Stamp Workaround for Notepad

 * }

Q73848

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows versions 3.0, 3.0a

-

SYMPTOMS
The time/date stamp in Windows Notepad does not display the time on the document.

WORKAROUND
To get the time and date to appear on the document:

 From the File menu, choose Page Setup.  In the header or footer section, whichever you would like to use, enter the following: "&d, &t"

This prints the system date followed by a comma, a space, and then the system time. (This information does not appear on the screen.)

This is a temporary workaround that functions only as long as Notepad is active (minimized, in a window, or in full-screen mode). Once Notepad is closed, the header defaults back to &quot;&f&quot; and the footer defaults back to &quot;Page &p&quot;.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows versions 3.0 and 3.0a. This problem does not occur in later versions of Windows.
