Displaying the Time
This is a spiffy little tip that I find useful, particularly if you are running Word on a version of Windows before Windows 95. I'll admit it--I don't particularly care for the Clock accessory of Windows. It can be so distracting to always be there, and I have this aversion to having lots of programs running at the same time. (Something about wasting system resources on non-essential programs, I think.) However, it is still nice to know what time it is once and a while. The following very short macro, ShowTime, displays the current time in a message box. You can assign this macro to a shortcut key or to a toolbar button. In that way, you can see the time whenever you want, without the necessity of wasting system resources.
Sub MAIN MsgBox Time$(), "Time Marches On", 64 End Sub
Again, this macro may only be truly useful for those using Windows 3.11 or Windows NT 3.x. If you are using a newer version of Windows, then the current time is normally displayed at the right side of the task bar.
| This tip applies to Word 6 and Word 95. |
