Have you tried the "Date and Time" item on the Insert menu?

Thanks Jay,
Has a shortcut key for this?

Hello JS-

Try Alt+Shift+T

Or Alt+Shift+D for the date. But note that these shortcuts insert date and
time fields, which will update every time you print. If you want a static
date, you'd be better advised to use a CreateDate field. See

Hi Suzanne-

Thanx for the clarification... had reassiged that keystroke so long ago
that I had forgotten about it!
