Stay organized! Automatically insert the date and time with a click of a button.
Ease your daily recordkeeping chores with the Insert Date/Time add-in. Perfect for organizing the notes
when shared or synchronized access to public folders is used.
New! This add-in has recently been updated to include the ability
to format the date & time so that it appears the way you want. It also now has a single hotkey option, allowing
you to map a function key and be able to press that instead of using the toolbar or menu command. This way, you
can now enter the date/time stamp into Outlook Notes (which do not support menus or toolbar buttons).

Testimonials
Here's what our customers have to say: "I cannot sing the praises of the time/date add in too highly. It is
really useful for date stamping auditable email evidence."
"I use the Task feature of Outlook to manage 150 e-learners for whom I
have to record progress every month. Each email or learning event has
to be recorded and date stamped. This add-in really helps."

Do you need to insert frequently used text? If so, there's a "big brother" to this add-in: Quick Text Hotkeys. It allows you to map function keys to bits of text that you frequently type (including inserting the date and time) saving you even more time. It's a stronger, more powerful version of this add-in.
Note: This add-in does not work when using Word as your email editor, because Word already supports inserting the date and time (using AutoText).
