Default Keyboard shortcut for inserting a date

Darn... I was sure hoping there was a way native to all version of Word. I
guess I'll have to submit that to them as a feature request.

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.


You can create one easy enough. I use:

Sub DateStamp()
' Inserts current date
Selection.InsertDateTime DateTimeFormat:="MMMM dd, yyyy",
InsertAsField:=False
End Sub
