I don't know of any easy way to do it with Word 3.01 itself -- but I have an
FKey that inserts the current date in whatever style I like at the current
cursor position, and I use that in Word.

You're right, though -- it is ridiculous that Word doesn't have this option.

                                            They fix everything."
