Custom Timestamp for Complete Beginner

H

I have a running log which I keep in a single .doc file. Every log
entry is bookended by a date/time stamp. It looks a little like this:

<!--05_01_14fr_1516--> this is a log entry <!--/05_01_14fr_1519-->

That breaks down as folows:
<!--yy_mm_ddDOTW_hhmm-->

Pretty self-explanatory as far as date/time stamping goes, yes?
Currently I type the date/time stamp out by hand, which is becoming a
little tedious. I'd like a pair of buttons on my toolbar for inserting
timestamps in that format. One button for date/time in and one for
date/time out.

Just one little caveat: I know absolutely didley-squat about
programing. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Zero. Bupkis.
My options, as I see it, are a)scour the web for VB(?) tutorials and
break my head trying to piece together a half-assed, buggy script or
b)come here to grovel and beg and try to mooch a script off of someone
who can probably fart a better script than I could write in a million
years (that's a complement).

Can anyone help the pathetic mooch?
