Example

The following macro shows how to place a string containing the current date into the left portion of a document's header. After you run this macro, if the date is October 1, 2009, the left portion of the header contains "The date is Thursday, October 1, 2009".

 
Sub HeaderLeft_Example() 
  
    Dim strHeader as String 
 
    'Build header string. 
    strHeader = "The date is " & "&D"  
 
    'Set header of the current document. 
    ThisDocument.HeaderLeft = strHeader  
 
End Sub
