pages update date automatically

Pages cannot auto-update inserted date fields each time you open a document, or use a template with a date field in it.

However, you can insert a single, borderless table cell with the date format that you prefer, and then enter the formula =now() in it. This will automatically show the current date each time the document is opened.

Hi alfredfromcottam,

Try following these steps:

1. Right click on the file you want in Finder and click Get File Info
2. Under "Apps that can open this file type", choose Pages

Reply if you are having trouble getting this to work. Hope this helps.
