Default Autoinsert date

No, I can't explain it in a way that is easier to understand. Here is a try,
though.

Word does not have this feature. You can create a date stamp in Word if you
want. This is called writing a macro. I wrote one for you. You need to
implement it.

the file:
..log

The simplest way to do it is to write a macro to insert the date and
attach
that to a keyboard shortcut.

Here is a sample macro:

Sub MyDateInsert()
'
' Macro written 7/21/2006 by Charles Kyle Kenyon
'
Selection.TypeText Text:="Notes made "
Selection.InsertDateTime DateTimeFormat:="d-MMM-yy",
InsertAsField:=False, _
DateLanguage:=wdEnglishUS, CalendarType:=wdCalendarWestern, _
InsertAsFullWidth:=False
Selection.TypeParagraph
End Sub
