I thought I remembered that there were short keys to do this and I double checked an old hint. " In MS Word, you can press Alt+Shift+D to insert the current date and Alt+Shift+T to insert the current time. The date is in the format 2/15/05, but there may be some setting you can change to get it February 15,2005 if that is what is needed or to write it the European way. Maybe someone else can help with that-I'm not a big Word user.

Attach it to a hotkey and bingo. Something like the following: *** Start of sample script. Script InsertDateAndTime () TypeString (SysGetDate()) TypeString (", ") TypeString (SysGetTime()) EndScript *** End of sample script.
