Have the date in your word document automatically update

There are documents that include the date and you may want the date to auto update as it is a document that you use regularly and only need to modify the certain phrases to fit the situation that it is being used for. This is common for things such documents for cover letters. I will show you how to do this in Microsoft word.
When you want to put the date in do not type it in instead follow the steps below:

1. Click on insert and chose date and time

2. Select/check the automatically update box

3. Click OK


That is it. Whenever you open this document the date will show the date it is when you open the document.
