I am using Word 2003 in a Win XP Media Centerbox. I need to change the wasy
the date and time is displayed in my documents. If I type the date and time
as "05-10-2006 9:10pm" I want it to display as "2006.05.10.2110". I am able
to do it in Excel but can't find how to do it in Word.
 
Word does not automatically convert typed dates to anything. The simplest
and most consistent method to achieve your required format is to use a macro
to insert the date - assign it to a toolbar button and/or keyboard shortcut

Sub InsertUSFormatDate()
With Selection
.InsertDateTime DateTimeFormat:="yyyy.MM.dd.HHmm", InsertAsField:=False
End With
End Sub
