I would like to add Copyright(a)2010 at footnote,
does anyone have any suggestions on how to auto add current year after @? so
I don't need to change it every year.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

You can insert a field code like this after the "@":
{ DATE \@YYYY }

Use ctrl-F9 to insert the {} - don't type them from the keyboard.

Use Alt-F9 to toggle between field codes" and "field results" view.

Personally I prefer not to tie these things to Word's DATE fields and
usually
a. create a custom document property, lets say it's called CopyrightYear
b. try to remember to update it each year
c. insert the value using a field like this

{ DOCPROPERTY CopyrightYear }

That way, you can print stuff that needs to be Copyright 2010 even when
it isn't actually 2010.

You can't use the "at" character for a copyright notice; you must use
c-in-a-circle for it to have legal weight. (Seriously. It's in the US
copyright law.) Word will insert it for you automatically when you
type (c) (and the appropriate AutoFormat As You Type option is turned
on).

After Use ctrl-F9 to insert the {}, and type DATE \@YYYY within {}, what
should I do to show the result? I tried Use Alt-F9 with no luck.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

If that is indeed true for US law, then it is ridiculous. A writer always
owns the copyright to the material he/she creates, unless it is ceded to
someone else. The copyright notice merely draws attention to the fact. The
copyright notice on a document alone is insufficient to prove copyright, and
its omission does not negate the writer's copyright.
