Inserting the Date and Time

If you want to indicate the date and/or time that you created your document or presentation, or if you want the current date and/or time shown, you can have Word, PowerPoint, Publisher, or the Outlook Editor insert either or both for you.

Insert the Date and/or Time

  1. Click in the document where you want the date and/or time to appear.

  2. On the Insert tab, click the Date & Time button to Display the Date And Time dialog box. In Publisher, choose Date And Time from the Insert menu to display the dialog box.

  3. Select the format you want and the information to be included.

  4. Specify the language you want to use if it isn’t your default language. If the selected language supports more than one type of calendar, select the calendar you want to use.

  5. Select this check box to have the date and/or time updated each time you open, save, or print the document. Clear the check box if you want the original date and/or time to be displayed.

  6. Click OK.

Tip

Tip

The date and/or time are often placed in a document as part of the running head. Use the header and/or footer features that are unique to each program to insert the date and/or time in the running head.

Tip

Tip

The Date And Time dialog box is slightly different in each individual program. For example, the Calendar list isn’t available in Word or Outlook unless a language with more than one calendar appears. Also, for no apparent reason, the location of the Update Automatically check box is moved around in the different programs.
