Hi Rudi (Clarke).
The Insert > Date and Time menu option (Alt+I, T also displays the Date and
Time
dialog) with its various options should do the trick, then either press Enter
or
click OK.
As for the page break before the heading style, Format > Paragraph (Alt+O, P)
Line and Page Breaks (tab) and deselect the page break before option, then
either press Enter or click OK.
If you want to make sure that this changes the style throughout the document,
make sure that the formatting tool bar is visible (right-click over the tool
bars area and select Formatting to display it, if not). Now select the
paragraph of the style you'd like to update, press Ctrl+Shift+S to select the
style name item in the tool bar, press enter. The Modify stle dialog displays.
Select Update the style to reflect recent changes?, then either press Enter or
click OK.
To save that style change down to the template level on which your document is
based, so that new and existing documents use it too, Format > Style (Alt+O, S)
> Modify (Alt+M) > Add to Template (Alt+A) Enter, Enter.
Then press Ctrl+S to save and Word will ask if you'd like to save the changes
to
the document template. Select OK for yes.
Hope that helps.
