When editing a topic name you can always press F4 or F5 to insert date or date/time (the same keys as in topic editor).
It is also possible to automatically include date and time in a new topic name for a document by setting that up in the File Options. Here is a concrete example:
- You must have noticed that by default, when you create a new topic, the topic name generated is “New Topic.”
- Now click on the menu “Tools–File options.”
- Click on the “New Topics” Tab and look at the pull-down list “Start a New topic name with” that gives you various options.
- Choose the option “Date” to automatically prefix new topic names with date.
- Click OK.
- Now add a new topic to this document. You will notice that the date is automatically prefixed and the selection allows you to type a name beyond it. How convenient!
This feature allows you to set up a document as a journal or a time log. You can also look at other options available on the above pull down. For instance, you can also have custom characters put before or after the topic name.
