These produce the current Time or Date from your computer's internal clock.
They're handy for including footnotes on your web pages to indicate when the presentation was last updated.
When PPT2HTML replaces time or date placeholders, it uses the system's time/date formats (ie, the formats you've chosen in Control Panels/Regional Settings). It uses the short date format.
You can alter this default by adding the following to the [Settings] section of PPTOOLS.INI:
DateFormat=Long Date TimeFormat=Long Time
to return the Long time/date formats you've chosen in Start, Settings, Control Panel, Regional Settings.
You can also experiment with the Regional Settings Time/Date formats until you get one that suits your needs, then select and copy it into PPTOOLS.INI.
For example:
DateFormat=yyyy-MM-dd
In Regional settings, choose a sample format then click Apply to see an example of what it looks like.
If you enter invalid time/date formats, PPT2HTML ignores your entries and inserts the default time/date format instead.
