I should begin this by letting you know I have zero scripting knowledge.

What I'm looking for is a script that will insert and update a revision code onto my documents. If anyone knows of such a script, please post the link.

Ideally, I, and anyone else who uses it, would be able to set their initials into it and it would code by date. For example, upon saving a document, the script would automatically update a defined section with a code such as RPB 080803. The RPB being my initials, 080803 being todays date. And if my boss makes a change tomorrow, it would change the code to MED 080903.

Does such a utility exist, or am I being way too hopeful (and lazy)?
