When viewing from the main window, or printing, you see the time or date. To use one of these macros, place the string, exactly as shown, in the symbol.

Certain text strings can be placed in symbols that will
cause the document name and symbol number to be displayed.
The document name is the first part of the file name of the
document. The symbol number is the internal reference number
given to a symbol to make it unique. When viewing from the
Edit Text dialog, you see these text strings. When viewing
from the main window, or printing, you see the time or date.
To use one of these macros, place the string, exactly as
shown, in the symbol.
