Google-apps-script – print the Print Date or Save Date in Google Documents

google docsgoogle-apps-script

I've created a word processing document that will be used by many people (a style sheet for writers), and will also be updated periodically. I suspect that well have some who print the document out for reference. Is it possible in Google Documents to put field codes in the footer that indicate the print date or the save date? If not, maybe we could name the document "[document title] version [x]" and have that print in the footer?

Alas, this doesn't seem possible right now; Google Docs doesn't support the auto-updating fields that Office does.

Here is a support thread where you can request this feature, though - I've also posted a reply on it.
