Create and Edit Javascript - inability to save

Last month I set up a date printed on multiple pages of a document through the creation of a field and running the javascript.  However, since getting a new laptop and requesting the IT dept to download the Adobe Pro DC I have been unable to do this.  I went through the process as the first time but whenever I try to enter in the javascript, I am not getting the OK button to proceed.  What I see is a Go to button and when I select this, it asks for a Line Number?

Using Windows 10 now and I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it?

Help appreciated

It sounds like you are entering code into the Console Window, rather than the script editor. You might try going to the Acrobat Preferences and changing the JavaScript editor to a plain text editor. On windows "Notepad.exe" is perfect for this.

Thank you for your reply.

I was having difficulty with this until my colleague pointed out that the dialog box that was displayed, was missing the Ok button.  However by expanding this, it appeared.
