Default Keyboard shortcut for inserting a date

You can't find one because there isn't one - at least not by default.
Shift+Alt+D will insert a Date *field*, but date fields will automatically
update unless you unlink them (select the inserted date field, then
Shift+Ctrl+F9). You can create a macro to do al this for you & assign a
keystroke or Toolbar button to it.

A kybd shortcut can also be assigned to bring up the InsertDate dialog or
you can create a macro to insert a CreateDate field (doesn't change) &
assign a keystroke/button to that.

BTW - one of your best sources of available Keyboard Shortcuts in Word is
Word Help.

In Excel you can presss CTRL; and it will insert the date. Is there a
shortcut for doing this in Word? I'm using Word 2007.

I've found a lot of Keyboard shortcut sites via Google, but not for
inserting a date.
