<p style="Heading 1">Field Dialog</p>

<p style="Normal"><c style="Normal">At present, fields are updated when you open or print a document.</c><c style="Normal"></c></p>

<p style="Heading 3"><c style="Heading 3">Date and Time</c><c style="Heading 3"></c></p>
<p style="Normal"><c style="Normal">These fields are concerned with date and time. Most are self-explanatory. 'Seconds since the epoch' inserts a field giving the number of seconds that have passed since 0:00 on January 1st, 1970. This is the point in time that all Unix-style systems measure time from.</c><c style="Normal"></c></p>
