Description Himagain 2016-01-13 21:20:26 UTC
Cannot see how to insert a readable date quickly in Writer.
In almost every other program there is a simple option to setup/install current or fixed date and include the time.

When I use formatting to do it, it is blacked out and will only display in Print Preview.

Thank you
