Adding the Date and Page Number

Use a text object once more to add a date and the page number to the letter.

1.  In the "Objects" toolbar, choose the "Text" object type.

2.  Pull the object to the required size.

3.  The formula wizard will now appear, which you can use to define the contents of the text object. Switch to the "Date Format" tab.

4.  Select the date format that you want. When you do so, the Now() function will be inserted automatically in the Date$() function. This outputs the current date in the format that you have chosen.

5.  Then create a further text object in the footer area for the page number. In the result area of the formula wizard, enter the Page$() function directly to output the page number.
