How to insert date and time with seconds?

[PrinterGeek]

I am looking for a way to get the "insert date and time" function to include
seconds. The help file indicates that OneNote uses the system date and time
settings to determine the format for the date and time stamp it uses (i.e. it
is the same as the format shown in the Systray). However, my system date and
time settings are "HH:mm:ss", thus including the seconds ("time sample" also
shows seconds).

If OneNote supported macros I would simply create a macro w/shortcut for
this task, but alas...

Including seconds in the date/time stamp is really useful for me, as I use
OneNote to capture notes when running various tests.

OneNote rounds the time to the nearest minute and does not insert the second.

If you are synchronizing notes with audio, you may want to check out a
powertoy the test team just released that allows the notes to be adjusted to
the millisecond with a recording. You can get it at

You could us Excel and put =Now() in a cell, use the refresh to update the
time (F9).
Then copy and paste. Change the format for the cell to include seconds.
