Description jgfuller 2005-09-27 04:04:26 UTC 
This is my first issue entry, so please forgive any errors in procedure or 
content!  I wasn't able to find an entry elsewhere for this particular item.

MS Excel has a keyboard shorcut for entering the current time in the active 
cell: Ctrl+Shift+; [semi-colon].  The shortcut for entering the current date is 
Ctrl+;.

This is a handy feature for those [like me!] who use the spreadsheet for making 
current time and date entries.  I use it in a time sheet for my work.

How do you enter date/time field now ? I cannot see the menu option to enter
these values automatically ?
In writer there is an option like Insert->fields ->date

When using Excel, data is typoed directly into the cell, if one doesn't use the 
keyboard shortcut.

In Excel, there is no menu option to insert time or date, like there is in 
Writer or MS Word.
