Inserting Current Date and Time Information


You can insert the current date and time in your design. To do this choose Insert > Date & Time… Then select a format by clicking on one of templates. Finally, click OK.
Date&Time

Current date and time information appears in a special text box in the Disc Cover document. You cannot edit it directly. To update the information or change the data format, double-click on this text box. To change the text font, size, etc., use controls in the Text tab of the Inspector window.

The Format edit box lets you modify the pattern. Symbols in the pattern replace date, month, year, and so on. For example, "yyyy" produces the current year in the format "1999", and "yy" gives a shorter format "99". For more details about time and date patterns, go to this web site:
