Alt+Shift+D to that AutoText entry. For more, see

...
I like to use the keyboard shortcut of alt-shift-d to enter the date.
However, this enters the date as a field which causes the date to be
updated
automatically; I wish to be able to enter with keyboard shortcut a date
that
does not update automatically. Is there such a shortcut key combination?
Thanks.
