I keep a diary in MS Word & want to do date automatically.
I keep a daily diary and find it time consuming to write the date. So far I
have written dates for the whole month ahead but it takes a lot of time. Also I have an automatic date feature set but I don't like the format. All attempts to change it to the format I like have failed. I have tried under insert, date and time. The format I like is available in my MS Word version so that is not the problem. |

What format would you like? the format is set with a formatting switch.
However for a running diary you could insert the date with a simple macro attached to a keyboard shortcut or toolbar button http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm eg Sub InsertUSFormatDate() With Selection .InsertDateTime DateTimeFormat:="MMMM" & Chr(160) & _ "d," & Chr(160) & "yyyy", InsertAsField:=False End With End Sub Sub InsertUKFormatDate() With Selection .InsertDateTime DateTimeFormat:="d" & Chr(160) & _ "MMMM" & Chr(160) & "yyyy", InsertAsField:=False End With End Sub If you would prefer some other layout it is not difficult to change it. For superscripted ordinals the code gets a bit more complicated - see the relevant section at http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org TOOLINER wrote: I keep a daily diary and find it time consuming to write the date.
