Insert Date and Time Objects

We will now add two time objects. Create a date and/or time object by clicking the  icon on the overlay toolbar.

Right click on the objects and select ‘Font’ to size the text display of the times.

The time format shown is constructed using the ‘Text’ field in the properties grid. The one time object should be displaying the time correctly with the default ‘HH:MM:SS’ value in ‘Text’ field. The other Date display should display as ‘Wednesday 24 January 2009’ depending on the present date. To achieve this enter dddd dd mmmm yyyy into the ‘Text’ field.
