On the Document Summary screen (Shift-F8, D, S) there is both a
"Creation Date" and a "Revision Date." I am looking a way to include the
"Revision Date" in the document. Can this be done?

For example...
...on Dec 12 a document was created.
...on Dec 14 the document was revised and printed.
...on Dec 16 the document was printed, but not revised.

Using the date feature (Shift-F5, T or C) will put the current date
in the document. In particular, the copies in the above example printed
on the 14th and the 16th are actually the same. But you can't see that
when you look at the dates on the printed copies. If the "Revision Date"
could be put in the document instead of the current date, the copies
printed on the 14th and the 16th would both have a date of Dec 14. This
would make it very easy to determine that no revisions have been made.

Whew, that was long-winded! Sorry!

Thanks in advance for any help!!
