The macro approach: I had a look at Andrew Pitonyak's macro document and I was fiddling with it a bit. This seems to work for inserting a fixed time field: *REM ***** BASIC *****Option Explicit' ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————'Original author: Andrew Pitonyak'Email: and...@pitonyak.org <and...@pitonyak.org>'Uses: FindCreateNumberFormatStyle'Edits: Johnny RosenbergSub InsertTimeField Dim oDoc As Object Dim oText As Object Dim oVCurs As Object Dim oTCurs As Object Dim oDateTime As Object oDoc = ThisComponent If oDoc.SupportsService("com.sun.star.text.TextDocument") Then oText = oDoc.Text oVCurs = oDoc.CurrentController.getViewCursor() oTCurs = oText.createTextCursorByRange(oVCurs.getStart()) ' Create the DateTime type.

I prefer keyboard shortcuts and I associated mine with Ctrl+t, which was free. Here's the whole process: 1. Highlight the code above, all of it. 2. Ctrl+c 3. In LibreOffice Writer, click Tools → Macros → Edit Macros 4. A new window pops up. Click Tools in the new window, then Organize Macros → Basic… 5. Click Organizer… 6. In the Modules tab, click the ▸ in front of ”My Macros”, making it a ▾. 7. Click Standard to highlight it. 8. Click New… 9. You will now create a new module, so give it a name. I'll name it ”Insert”. 10. Click Edit. 11. The big field to the right now has some text in it, such as ”Sub Main” and ”End Sub”. Click somewhere in there, and hit Ctrl+a Ctrl+v to insert the code you copied in step 2. 12. Now, let's associate InsertTimeField with a the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+t. Here's how: 13. In the same window, click Tools → Customize… 14. Click the Keyboard tab if it's not already selected. 15. In the Category field, scroll down and click the ▸ in front of ”LibreOffice Macros”. 16. Do the same for ”My Macros” and ”Standard”. 17. Click ”Insert”. 18. In the Function field, click InsertTimeField. 19. In the Shortcut Keys field, look for Ctrl+t and click it. 20. Click Modify. In Keys field, Ctrl+T should now be displayed. 21. Click OK. 22. In your main window, place the cursor somewhere and hit Ctrl+t. A new field with the current time in HH:MM format should now appear at the cursor. 23. Done. 24. This should now work in any document as long as LibreOffice Writer is used. 25. If there is a problem, make sure you inserted ALL of the code above. I tested the code myself and it works perfectly on my system, so there should not be any problems, if these instructions are followed in detail, but we are only human… Kind regards Johnny Rosenberg > Kind regards > > Johnny Rosenberg > > >> -- >> To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org >> Problems? >> https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ >> Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette >> List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ >> Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy >> > -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy
