(defun time ()
"insert the current date and time into the buffer."
(interactive)
(insert (current-time-string)))
then just do "M-x time" or bind it to whatever you like, say:
(global-set-key [C-f1] 'time)

i use the diary/calendar in emacs, which suits me needs and means i
can access my calendar whether i'm using emacs in linux or windblows.
if you want a gui, ical looks pretty nice.

for word files, i just use:
strings foo.doc > foo.txt
but i just took a look at the innards of an rtf file for the first
time, and it seems it already *is* all ascii, with some tex-like
formating commands. if you want it converted to ascii, it looks like
a sed/perl script may be in order.

if you just want to expand keystrokes into larger phrases (eg, "foo
[space]" becomes "find outer otter"), see the help for abbrevs in
emacs.
