Try this in word.. Everything is possible at our Finger tips:)
Insert | Date The method that most users discover first is the Date and Time command on the Insert menu. If you insert a date using the Insert | Date and Time command, you have two options:
1.The default is to enter plain text. This is the same as typing the date into the document yourself, just a little quicker if you're a poor typist or don't know the date.
2.If you check the check box for “Update automatically,” Word will insert a { DATE } field, which will always reflect the current system date. It may not be updated when you open a document, but if you have the “Update fields” option checked on the Print tab of Tools | Options, it will be updated when you print. You can lock the field by selecting it and pressing Ctrl+F11 (unlock it with Ctrl+Shift+F11), or you can unlink it (convert it to ordinary text) with Ctrl+Shift+F9, but it's easier just to insert the date as plain text in the first place if that's what you want. The keyboard shortcut for inserting a { DATE } field is Alt+Shift+D; it always inserts a date in the format you have chosen as the default in the Insert | Date and Time dialog.
