I'm looking for a very very fast method to insert a timestamp into a Word document. I always know the shortcuts ShiftAltD and ShiftAltT, but doing so inserts a field, that is always automatically updated. And because I need a real timestamp, I consequently have to use CtrlF9 to get a fixed date-time string:
To sum up:
- ShiftAltD
- ShiftAltT
- Mark both fields
- CtrlF9
And that is not a shortcut, that's expensive overhead! So I'm always faster when I write all by 10-fingers touch-typing.
I search for a real one-hand keyboard shortcut for inserting a fixed date-time.

Record a macro for these actions and assign it to a single keyboard shortcut. This is the exact usecase macros are made for.
