say you have a document with multiple date inputs but require the same date. is there a way to link up the dates to one drop down option allowing you to edit all dates throughout the document?

Is there a way to make the date picker auto update each day? I have documents where I have to change the date daily, I’m currently doing this manually and it’s extremely time consuming.

How would I change the date from numbers to say February 10, 2017 where it says the words?

If you want someone to add their date of birth though, they'll have to click the left button hundreds of times to go month by month through years and years to get to their date of birth. Is there a way to form it so they can click year by year?

Any reason why this doesn't appear to work on the Macintosh version of Word?

What do I do if the date picker in developer tool is greyed out and I can’t click it 🤔 why do they have to make everything extra complicated?

Hi, how do I change date format in this content? Like MM DD YY to DD MM YYYY.

While this is a very good video, What I am actually looking for is a way to put the current date in the top right corner for all new pages in a document. like a daily diary or journal. Like for now like and sub if you point me to one of your video's that can show me how to do that.
