I want to add the "date" button to my tool bar but I don't want to use the
current configuration, i.e. 10/24/2004, and I don't want the date to be
automatically updated. How do I change the default setting?

You could use a fairly simple macro and assign it to a toolbar button. For
example:

Sub InsertMyDate()
Selection.InsertAfter Format(Date, "dd-MMM-yyyy")
End Sub

Just change the placeholders between the "quotes" to get the date format you
prefer (the above would be 27-Oct-2004)
