I am trying to do on one page multiple notes on diferent dates and would
like to create a template were every time or date i want to wirte a note, the
date is inserted automatically. In other words, let say i write a note of 3-4
lines today, were it appears today date, then tomorrow i need to write
another note on the same page, then i would like the new date to be inserted
automaticaly and then in two days i write a new note then the new date is
inserted. Any hints???

Notepad has this feature; Word does not. In NotePad, make the first line of
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

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.
