    When you go into Insert> Date and Time... scroll to the bottom of the list & select one of the last 2 formats (depending on whether you want to include seconds in addition to hours & minutes). If you do not want the time to update automatically every time the document is opened be sure that the box is not checked.

    If you use the Insert> Field method suggested by trip_to_tokyo the field will automatically update unless you take an extra step to UnLink the field. IOW, using this method is the same as checking the box in the Date and Time dialog whereas using the dialog inserts the Date/Time as static text if the box isn't checked.

    Hi,

    My name is Naval and I am an Independent Advisor. I would like to help you.

    Please read this article of Microsoft on Format numbers as dates or times.

    https://support.office.com/en-us/article/format...

    And if you talking about Outlook automatically picked up the 24-hour format. So make the proper selection in all the corresponding fields of the System Preferences in the Date & Time settings, it’s in the Language & Region settings.

    Hope this information helps. Please post if you need any further assistance.

    Thank you!  I missed "HH:mm" at the bottom of the list.
