SUMMARY

The EDITTIME field always returns the number of minutes the document has been open. This time includes any time previous to the current session that the document was open.

The EDITTIME field cannot be formatted using a date-time picture switch.

The following field displays the edittime in the hh:mm format:
   {=int({edittime}/60)}:{={={edittime}-({=int({edittime}/60)}*60)}\# 00}
				
NOTE: All {} are field braces created by using the Insert Field key (CTRL+F9), not the brace keys on the keyboard.
