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.
