Just before it, insert a space + the datestamp text. That's it. Now if you open the RTF file in Word, or WordPad, or whatever RTF reader you have on your system, your text will appear (in the system-default font and style, 'cause you inserted it before any document styles) at the top of the document.<br>
<br>Note: this is absolutely NOT valid RTF; it only works because Microsoft specifically requires that RTF readers obey Posten's Law. If you later edit the modified file in Word, WordPad, etc. your datestamp text will be moved to a more appropriate area of the file and you might have a hard time finding it again.<br>
