How Do I Create Timestamps in Topics?

I use RoboHelp 8 and produce WebHelp. I would like to have a timestamp (date & time) automatically placed at the end on my topics when I generate the help. So, on the days I generate the help, that date & time would be stamped at end of topics. Is this possible? If so, how do I accomplish it?

Thanks in advance for your assistance:-)

Hi there

Edit your topic and position the insertion point where you want the timestamp.

Click Insert > Fields and Variables and a dialog should be presented. From there, choose the manner in which you wish to see the information presented.

You will likely want to clear the option to Auto-update the field.

Cheers... Rick
