Summary:

To insert the current date or time in a Works Word Processor module, Spreadsheet module, or Database module file, do the following:


 * 1) Place the insertion point where you want the date or time to appear.
 * 2) Press CTRL+SEMICOLON to enter the date, or CTRL+COLON to enter the time.
 * 3) Press the ENTER key.

Note that when you update a spreadsheet or database document, a date or time inserted this way will not be updated when you recalculate your document. To insert a date or time that will update automatically, use the NOW function.

The CTRL+SEMICOLON and CTRL+COLON functions display the time in hours and minutes, but not seconds. To display seconds (in the Database or Spreadsheet module files only), you must use the NOW function.

For more information on the NOW function, see pages 113-115 of the version 2.0 “Microsoft Works Reference,” or see page 246 of the version 1.05 “Microsoft Works Reference.”
