Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Bug report -- LibreOffice version 4.1.3.2

I think you may have it. I just tried it on a file I modified yesterday, and 
I got yesterday's date.

This is an excellent example of how we users often conclude that a program 
can't do something when all we're lacking is more information.

It's also an example of how the LO developers might make such a feature a 
little more intuitive to find. I would never have dreamed to look anywhere 
other than "date."

I haven't tested this, but a quick perusal led me to:

Insert->Fields->Other->DocInformation TAB->Modified->Select Date/Time...
may need to tick "Fixed Content" checkbox, I don't know.

Which isn't necessarily the date the file is _saved_, but _appears to
be_ the date the file was *_last modified_* which I suspect is what the
OP really wanted.
