You don't say what version of Word you have. There is a way to do it with
the keyboard, but the keystrokes depend on version.

Well I was able to delete the fields and approximate the times I
needed. Is there a quick key that will just insert current date time
as text. In excel CTRL SHIFT and : gives current date and CTRL SHIFT ;
gives date and time. These are entered as static in excel.
