How can I create an automatically updating date in my template?

I've created a template using Pages 5 for Mac, but I want to include a date in the header which shows the date the document was created. I've noticed that this is possible with the default Apple-designed templates included with Pages. I know that I can insert a date by going to Insert › Date & Time, but this only shows the date the template was created, and not the current date (I also know that you can click on the date and select 'Go to Today', but I often forget and it's a hassle).
Does anyone know if this is possible?

Matthew,
It does appear that the auto update of Date and Time is gone. If you click on the calendar icon associated with the date object, you can update all instances of Date in your document at once. If that's not good enough, you can Insert a table, one with no headers or footers, shrink it to one cell, set borders to none, and insert the formula:
=TODAY().
Format the cell to display the date and time as  you wish.
Alignment can be a problem with inline tables, so you could add an entire sentence in that cell by writing:
="Date printed: "&=TODAY()
Here's an example with the table Selected...
and here is what it will look like after formatting..
Now if you move this table to the Section Master, it will appear on each page.

  • How can I prevent Firefox automatically updating when first opened on a new CentOS Installation ?

    Hi,
    I just installed CentOS on a new virtual machine for testing. I need to run Firefox 28 on it.
    NO. Don't argue. It needs to be firefox 28.. Yes, I know firefox 35 is out. Yes I know it fixes important vulnerabilities. Yes, I know it has a load of new features. That information won't help me in the slightest. I need Firefox 28 on this virtual machine for a very specific reason, firefox 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34 and 35 won't be suitable for this purpose.... The reason I need it is to do with testing a specific website compatibility with older browser versions on multiple operating systems. I am fully aware that the latest version of firefox is the "best"... but it's not what I need right now, so please don't ask questions like "why are you using an older version" or suggest things like "you know, it's really in your best interests to use the latest version"... I get it, OK.... but that's not a helpful reply to this question, because I have a really specific requirement here.
    ... sorry if that seems rude, I just know what sort of replies get posted here whenever someone suggests using an older browser. I do get why people give such advice. I do understand the benefits of keeping computers that connect to the internet up to date. This particular Virtual Machine won't actually be used to connect to the internet... just to a test website on an intranet.
    So the problem I have is that this installation of CentOS 6.4 (x64) comes with Firefox 31. When it first opens, before I have a chance to toggle off update checking, it begins downloading Firefox 35.0.1 and I haven't figured out how to abort the download. I thought about killing the task, but I feared what that might do. So I let it update to Firefox 35 and thought I'd just downgrade it to Firefox 28 afterwards.
    I do have the standalone installation of Firefox 28 for linux (firefox-28.0.tar.bz2). I can extract it on the CentOS virtual machine. I thought for my purpose, I could then just run the browser binary.... but it started updating before I could change the option to never check for updates... and there's no option to abort the download there....... sigh...
    So I tried editing the file update-setting.ini. I was quite hopeful when I saw it say:
    ; If you modify this file updates may fail.
    ; Do not modify this file.
    So I changed the setting below to say:
    [Settings]
    ACCEPTED_MAR_CHANNEL_IDS=dont_update_this_please
    hoping that my rather rash change might indeed cause updates to fail :-)
    Sadly, it seems that the updates are still happening.
    Basically here is what I need on CentOS - A way to run Firefox 28 without it updating to a newer version without asking me first. I don't mind if it keeps asking me... so long as it asks me instead of just doing it without asking.
    Just to be clear again - this is for a test configuration I have to build, on a virtual machine. It's OK for this one specific machine to have vulnerabilities, it's OK that it doesn't have all the new features of Firefox 35. It's what I need. It won't be used to browse the internet and go to dangerous web sites that might implant malicious code. It will only be used to connect to a specific web server, behind a corporate firewall, that my company tightly controls. I'm pretty sure doesn't have malware on it (if it does, I have much bigger problems that using an old version of a browser) . Then in a few weeks time, this VM will be deleted, along with the old version of Firefox I hope to have running on it.
    Incidentally, I may also have to repeat whatever I'm doing here later on another CentOS VM to install Firefox 27, 26, 25... but I'm hoping I don't have to... but I assume that whatever procedure works for Firefox 28 will work for these other slightly older versions too... don't worry, I don't have to go all the way back to Firefox 1.0... it's not THAT bad :-)
    So, with the understanding very clear that normally you would probably recommend just using the latest version.... can anyone help me ?
    Thanks in advance.

    Firefox tarballs from Mozilla Org use prefs within Firefox for updates. The "toggle" for not automatically updating - '''app.update.enabled''' and where to look for updates - '''app.update.url'''. The first needs to be '''''false''''' and the second could be a '''''null''''' string, do an update can't be found.
    ''I use both prefs to keep Firefox from updating by itself. I install each new version of Firefox as it is released, and keep the older versions around for reference purposes. Those prefs are the same since Firefox 1.5 came out.''
    The versions of Firefox that are part of an operating system installation usually are that OS's own build of Firefox, and don't use the same update setup as Mozilla uses, in most cases. I am not familiar with Cent OS, but Ubuntu and Debian look for Firefox updates and from their own program repository servers outside of Firefox - as with the tarballs from Mozilla.

  • How can I confirm the automatic updater of revoked certificates is working?

    There is a
    Microsoft security advisory from a few weeks ago about fraudulent certificates. In the advisory it says it is revoking India's NIC authority certificate and for systems running Windows 7 that are using the automatic updater of certificates that no action
    is needed.
    I don't know if I'm running the automatic updater of certificates. I tried installing the referenced
    KB2677070 but it says "The update is not applicable to your computer." And I don't see it listed as an installed update for this computer.
    I went into certmgr.msc and I don't see India's NIC certificates listed as untrusted.
    I'm running Windows 7 SP1 x64. How can I tell if I'm running the automatic updater of revoked certificates and how can I confirm that it's working? How can I see what certificates the automatic updater has revoked?

    Hi,
    afaik these updates are just coming in over Windows update. Your KB2677070 might be superseeded ba another update, or included in a rollup you installed.
    quote from
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc734054(v=ws.10).aspx : You can verify that the Automatic Root Certificates Update component is working properly by using a Web browser to open a Web site that requires the Automatic Root Certificates Update
    component. When you open this Web site, a new root certificate is downloaded from the Microsoft Windows Update Web site. If the certificate is downloaded successfully, Event ID 1 in the Microsoft-Windows-CAPI2 event source will be written to the event log.
    Note that if not explicitly turned of, the update is attempted and events are logged as described in http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc733922(v=ws.10).aspx

  • How can I rollback a automatic update

    I have Thunderbird installed on a OpenSuse computer and it recently did a automatic update that changed some features that I need. Is there a way to roll back the update?

    The full and partial updates (whether it be Thunderbird, Firefox or SeaMonkey) from mozilla.org are only provided to the official builds and not builds built yourself or by a third-party.
    The openSUSE and other Linux distro provided builds have their own ways of package updates in their package manager.
    However if the poster is using Thunderbird for Linux from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/ (64-bit Linux is on ftp) then those preferences would be valid and work.
    Nothing is being gutted as it has been this way since forever with third-party builds whether on Windows, Mac OSX and Linux.

  • How can I delete an automatic update that won't download?

    Hi, 
    I've just intalleld OS X Mavericks only to find that the iMovie upgrade will not download because my vido card is not the right one (too old).  I was told I cannot replace a video card. 
    What I really want to do is delete the upgrade from the App Store so the red number 1 is not forever in the way, bothering me.  I found one solution which doesn't work because the upgrade will not even try to download, the 'can't do it' dialog comes up before I can press any option and x keys.
    Can somebody please advise.  As my Mac gets older, I figure this will be a growing problem and I can't be the only one who cannot afford a new compj\uter every couple of years.

    Deleting the App Store app from the Dock is not really a solution though is it? This issue has nothing to do with whether you have auto-updates on or not either.
    The problem is worse than just the red badge on the app's icon in the Dock, the problem is every time you go to the App Store Updates section to manually install updates -- to other apps, OS X, or whatever, that **** iMovie app is still sitting there waiting to be updated too. You can't really use the "Update All" button now because that will also try to update iMovie, again.
    Surely there must be some way to remove the iMovie app from the Updates section of the App Store? I thought hiding/removing it from the Purchases section of the App Store would do that, but it doesn't. It looks like a bug in that the App Store doesn't realise the update is incompatible with the hardware until after you click the Update button. It should know up front that it isn't compatible with this machine and not show it.

  • How can I notify staff of updated data if they do not have access to the remote data?

    We have a shortcoming on one of our major programs that will not be fixed for at least one year. I want to create a notice for staff when there are pending requests for local offices. I am using a remote view to check if there are new requests from
    local offices:
    SELECT xxx_yyyyy_request_queue.COMMENTS;
    FROM xxx_yyyyy_REQUEST_QUEUE xxx_yyyyy_request_queue;
    WHERE xxx_yyyyy_request_queue.MODIFIED_BY IS NULL
    I use the remote view as the data source for a table and have a small window that stays on top that I can see if there is an order. I trigger the remote view using a timer event.
    This is fine as a stop-gap. However, I cannot run this on the machines of the staff that need the notice: they do not have the correct version of Oracle, they do not have access to that remote data, we do not want multiple machines triggering the same query
    every 15 seconds, etc.
    Is there a way that I can notify other users of the change in the data fro the remote view. My original thought was to update a local table with the view reults and have a companion routine notify them of changes to that table. However, I do not see how
    the SQL used by VFP accomodates the "INTO" clause.
    Your help is appreciated.

    data.
    At least your query seems to get data where MODIFIED_BY IS NULL, doesn't it?
    So if the reccount is>0 there is a reason to inform your employees.

  • Using data from a spreadsheet, how can I create multiple completed PDFs from a form template?

    Note that I am completely new to adobe acrobat.
    I have a form template for a completion certificate for students who take a summer workshop where I'm working. It includes data such as their name and the program they completed. I have all the necessary information for each student in an excel spread sheet. Rather than sit here and enter data into the form 300+ times, I want to automate the process. I'd like to be able to specify the spread sheet and either have acrobat just print out all 300, or save them as seperate files so I can print them easily.
    Thanks for the help!

    Thanks for the response! I'd be interested in writing a script for it (I've actually been researching it a bit already). I'm completely new to Javascript (and scripting) but have a fair level of experience with c/c++ so I feel it shouldn't be too bad. I'll ask here for now, just let me know if I should ask a new question on the scripting forum instead.
    I've looked at the Acrobat JavaScript API Reference (http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/js_api_reference.pdf) a bit but am having trouble finding a way to read the spreadsheet's data in (I was planning on using a csv file). I found Doc.importTextData(), which can parse a tab delimited file and from the sounds of it fill in the forms automatically (though I would much prefer a c style file interface that lets me write the parsing logic). Every time I try to call importTextData it returns -1 though, which means "Warning: User Canceled File Select". When I call it direct from the JavaScript Debug Console I just get a -1, but when I have it execute when I save I get "NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method.". I did a bit of research on that and modified my script to look like:
    Autofill = app.trustedFunction(
        function ()
            app.trustedFunction(importTextData);
            app.beginPriv();
            var result = this.importTextData("test.csv", 0);
            app.endPriv();
            return result;
    I've also tried running Acrobat as an administrator, but I still get the same error. I could just not be understanding privileges correctly.
    My overall plan was:
        for each row in the spreadsheet
            - read the row in from the file
            - fill out the fields in the PDF using the read data
            - save the file with a new file name.
    If there is a better method to do this, just let me know.
    Thanks again for your time!

  • How can I trigger an automatic update of firefox for use with selenium?

    Firefox auto-update is not working on the server that I am working on. I am only able to update firefox by going to the menu|about page. I want to automate the update of firefox so that before I run my tests every night it will be updated to the newest version.

    You normally trigger an update check by opening the Help > About window.
    I don't know if you can trigger this action via Selenium.
    Otherwise you would have to check the update.xml file to see if updates are available.
    The Live Http Headers extension should give the URL after opening the Help > About window.

  • How can I create User Entered Additional Data Points in Credit Management?

    I currently have a requirement to create additional data points in Credit Management (11i) that require a data analyst to input the value so that the score can be calculated.
    For example: Does customer have a Qualified Audit Report?
    If YES = +10 points added to score
    If NO = 0 points added to score
    I was able to add an additional data point and the case folder was assigned to an analyst, however when opening the case folder to input the missing data, the additional datapoint was not included in the case folder. Does anyone know what I may have missed in the setup?
    Data Point was defined as follows and added to a checklist called TEST.
    Data point: Unqualified
    Category: (none)
    Parent: (none)
    Application: Receivables
    Scoreable: Y
    Enabled: Y

    Function: (none)

    The setup described above was correct. The datapoints did not show up in the case folder until the next day. I am assuming that maybe the changes required a bounce or a background process of some sort.

    Hello,

    Anyone know where I should start?
    Thanks,

    Two options.
    1. Formated objects, which uses xml and xslt to create a pdf file. Apache has an open source FOP engine for Java. This is fairly complicated, but doable however the technology is relatively immature. Inexpensive, moderately steep learning curve given no prior experience.
    2. Third party application, my company uses Document Sciences, j2ee solution. Expensive, small learning curve.

    as Larry said, just a caution about the App Store Preferences:
    If you do not want your software to update automatically, disable "Install app updates".  But better not disable the option "Install system data files and security updates".  If there are security updates available, it is important to get them installed asap.
