Date and time format
I am using Word 2003 in a Win XP Media Centerbox. I need to change the wasy
the date and time is displayed in my documents. If I type the date and time as "05-10-2006 9:10pm" I want it to display as "2006.05.10.2110". I am able to do it in Excel but can't find how to do it in Word. -- R. G. Joines |

Date and time format
Word does not automatically convert typed dates to anything. The simplest
and most consistent method to achieve your required format is to use a macro to insert the date - assign it to a toolbar button and/or keyboard shortcut http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm Sub InsertUSFormatDate() With Selection .InsertDateTime DateTimeFormat:="yyyy.MM.dd.HHmm", InsertAsField:=False End With End Sub -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Rjoines wrote: I am using Word 2003 in a Win XP Media Centerbox.
