Change date format

Post by Robie »

Is there a way to specify the date format to be 'YYYY' only? PP2003 doesn't give me option for it to be just the year (it includes full dates with different formats but not YYYY).

Thanks.

Can you not just type in the four-digit number 2011 ?

That is possible but I would like this date to change every year as it is being used as part of the copyright statement.

I don't know how copyright works in your country, but in the UK the copyright symbol doesn't really need a date after it, since it is based on a number of years for each type of medium. See this UK Copyright Law Fact Sheet...
