Re: Slightly OT: question about dates in Numbers app

Alex, I looked at the Runners log template in Numbers thinking that perhaps it would have an auto-insert date function, but no luck there. There is a Insert Date/Time menu item that you could assign a hot key to. Take Care, Jonathan Cohn > On Feb 26, 2018, at 8:01 PM, Alex Hall
