[ELDON]

I did it once but I for got .
I want to creat a .doc
what I need it to do is to is below


Date & Time ( to auto update just for this line.)

Body - whatever I type and then, Also tho randonmly
change colors when file is open, so that each entry is
separate.

Something along those lines, it is to keep track of
everyday life when my child is born. Something for him to
look back on.

Record the steps of inserting a date in the format you require with the
update option unchecked in a macro. This will insert the current date as
text. Add a keyboard shortcut to the macro (tools > customize).

You can edit the date format mask in the macro to provide the layout you
prefer eg

Selection.InsertDateTime DateTimeFormat:="dddd, d MMM yyyy HH:mm",
InsertAsField _
:=False, DateLanguage:=wdEnglishUK, CalendarType:=wdCalendarWestern,
_
InsertAsFullWidth:=False

I suspect you may find http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm useful?
