variable date incorrect -- how to fix

[David A Starr]

Quoting from the Frame 5.5 manual (seems I heard those same words 
recently)

page 12-12 - Default values for System Variables

Most of the system variables can be inserted in any text frame on a body, 
reference or master page. The Current Page # and Running H/F 1, Running 
H/F 2, Running H/F 3, Running H/F 4 variables can inserted only in a 
background text frame on a master page. 

Current Date      (Long)  <$monthname> <$daynum>, <$year>          October 
11, 1996
Current Date     (Short) <$monthnum> <$daynum>, <$shortyear>      10/11/96
 
Happy Easter,
Dave S.

variable date incorrect -- how to fix






Quick question that I can't seem to find documented in FrameMaker 8.0 (on 
a Windows Vista platform).

I inserted a variable for "Creation date (long)" in my master page footer 
and it displays July 1998.

Where is the feature to allow me to specify a desired month and year?
