Hi,
I add small tips to an ongoing document. I would like to know if a field can be created to add a little "New" tag identifier in front of an entry in the doc if the date is equal to todays date.
Something like: IF([DateField]=[Todays date],"New","")
- DateField is a date at the top of the doc.
Example
New This is a new entry added today
New This is another entry added today
This is an entry added yesterday, so New does not show in the beginning
This is an entry added 4 days ago...new is not visible
Any ideas. TX.

Re: New Tag Identifier
You need to explain what you are doing more clearly. If DateField is a date at the top of the document then it will either be equal to today or it won't, so all your entries will either be marked New or not.
I suspect you must have an additional date for each entry somewhere.

Re: New Tag Identifier
TX for the reply Stuart, but I did not think through my request properly. Based on your reply...this request cannot work as I am not adding a date to each entry.
Just to add worth to this thread, say I did have a date next to each entry, how would the construction of the field look like...just for reference purposes.

Re: New Tag Identifier
Let's say you enter a date next to each item and assign it a bookmark Date01, Date02, etc.
You could then create a field for the row with Date01 that looks like this: { IF { Date01 }={ DATE } "New" "" }
And similar for the others.

Re: New Tag Identifier
Rudi, I think it would be MUCH easier to have a nice graphic and to simply copy this to each new line as you enter it, deleting old ones as you go.
