[comp.sys.mac] Word 4.0 -- glossaries

dpaight@HP-UX.ucsd.edu (Dan Paight) (11/01/89)

Does anyone know of a way to create glossary entries in Word that
make use of the current date. The long-format, standard date entries
use the form, month date, year. I would rather use the date month
year format.  Any ideas?

I used ResEdit to modify the itl0 and itl1 resources in my System, to
change the dates to the format that I prefer (yyyy-mm-dd).  Most of my
applications then use my preferred format.  This includes the Word
Glossary entries. -Goz (goz@vm.ucsf.edu)

I've had the same problem... so I created an 'itl0' resource in ResEdit
with the preferred format and pasted it into MS Word.  Works like a charm,
but it's an all-or-nothing proposition.  Can't pick and choose formats on
a per document basis, like you could in a real word processor...
