Keyboard shortcut for inserting a date
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. |

I use: Sub DateStamp() ' Inserts current date Selection.InsertDateTime DateTimeFormat:="MMMM dd, yyyy", InsertAsField:=False End Sub See: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...roToHotkey.htm and http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm |

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. -- HTH |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "M.Siler" wrote in message ...

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. "Greg Maxey" wrote in message ups.com... On Feb 15, 9:43 am, "M.Siler" wrote: In Excel you can presss CTRL; and it will insert the date.
