You can use the ribbon command Insert | Date/time (in the group Text) to insert the current date or time into the document as fixed text.
Unlike the fields described on the previous pages, this command uses the current date or time to create a fixed text that will no longer be updated automatically.
If you choose the ribbon command Insert | Date / time 
, a dialog box appears. Here, you can select whether the text should contain the date or time, and you can specify the format.
If you do not like any of the predefined formats, you can click on the New format button and type in your own format, while using the abbreviations described in the previous section.
If you want the date or time to be inserted as a field, rather than as fixed text, enable the option Insert as field. TextMaker then creates a field Print date or Print time. For more information on the use of fields, see the previous sections.
For inserting the date or time (as fixed text), there are the following shortcut keys:
▪Insert date: Ctrl+. (period)
▪Insert time: Ctrl+Shift+. (period)
When you press one of these key combinations, the date or time will be inserted immediately – without a dialog box appearing.
Tip 2: Changing language
If you want to insert the date and time in a format of another language, simply change the current language in the status line for the section of text, and then choose the command Date / time as described above. For more information, see also Formatting text in another language.
