Content Control Date/Time Field Problem

Question

I have created a form in Word 2007 that has a control control date field.  It should display the date and time.  The date portion seems to be working, however the time always goes to 0:00:00.  What do I need to do to get this to find the current time?

Answer 1

How would the form be used?  That is by what means would the user access the form to enter the morning (start?) time and then later the evening ("finish") time?

-- Hope this helps.

Our intent is to use this form as a time clock.  One field would have the morning time, one the evening time.  Is there a way to do that?

Answer 3

I believe that you will need to insert a Time field for the time. AFAIK the Date Picker Content Control cannot be made to display the current time.

In fact, if you want the current data and time, a Date or Time field is probably what you should be using or maybe one of the SaveDate, PrintDate or CreateDate fields.
