Auto print Date and Time on each page in MS word

Question

I am wondering if it is possible to have the date and time printed automatically in the (header or footer) of each newly created page in MS word. Lets say I Opened MS-word on 10:30 AM and wrote some stuff, then on 11:34 I added some more notes in a new page can I have the first showing 10:30 and the second showing 11:34?

Answer 1

This answer is specific to Word 2010 but I don't think much has changed for newer versions.

There are a few of obstacles to doing this, the most important of which is that Word only allows a different header/footer for the first page, and for odd and even pages.

Also, there is no event handler for when new pages are created.

If these obstacles did not exist, you could create document properties and store dates & times in them. That part would be easy. But, alas, it is not possible.
