Inserting the Date and Time in Microsoft Word

Sometimes in a document, users may need to insert the current date and time.  When using the same document in later occurrences, a user may want that date and time to automatically update. 

In Microsoft Word, the current date and time can be inserted in a number of different formats.

To accomplish this, the following steps should be followed:

1.  Open Microsoft Word

2.  Navigate to the desired location of the Date and Time.

3.  Click the Insert tab in the Ribbon

4.  Click the Date & Time option, which will allow a variety of formats for selection

5.  Click the Update automatically box so that it will update any time the document is opened.

6.  Click Ok.

Edit and Fill Forms with PDFescape

Employees who work in office settings may often be asked to print out a PDF form, fill it out, and then turn it in to the designated recipient.

Depending on your handwriting, the availability of a printer, and other factors, you may seek an alternative to hand writing the information that is requested on the form and then scanning it.

As a convenience to users, some forms are converted to fillable forms which allow the fields to be easily typed in the respective places, but what if that is not the case?

One way to still have the ability to type on forms is to use a website called PDFescape.com.

With the site, you can Upload PDFs that are less than 10 megabytes and 100 pages with the ability to open the PDF files, edit them, and fill out fields on the form.

To access the FREE software, visit https://www.pdfescape.com/ and click the Free Online button.

Upon clicking the Free Online button, users can choose to  Upload a PDF or load a PDF from the Internet.

From there, the menu allows the ability to insert text, images, freehand drawing and more.  Once the additions and modifications are made to the PDF, it can then be saved and used as desired.

Math in Microsoft Word?

When it comes to Microsoft Word, most people only think about its word processing capability.  There are also other features that can be used as well.  One of those features is calculating Math Equations.

While in a document, the Calculate command can be added to the Quick Access Toolbar.

From the File menu, navigate to Options.
 
Click the link for Quick Access Toolbar and then select All Commands from the "Choose commands from" drop-down.

Select Calculate from the list and then click Add to move the command to the Quick Access Toolbar.

 

Once you click "Ok", you can then type a mathematical equation in your document, highlight it, and then click the Calculate.

The answer appears near the bottom of your screen.
