Footer variable for user name?
 

Is there a variable available for capturing the user name in the footer of a
document?

Similar to "&[Date]" or "&[Time]" as already exists?

Nothing that I know of. The variables that you speak of are both vloatile
(determined at run time). Name is not determined at run time, so it is just
hard coded in the header/footer. You could easily write some code to put the
name in the footer

Application.UserName 'The name from Tools -Option -General -User Name
or
Environ("UserName") 'The users windows Login Name

If you need more help just let me know...

Thanks both of you. I'd seen the VBA code before, but didn't want to go that
route.

Looks like I'm out of luck. Thanks again.
