SUMMARY

When you are in the header/footer pane of a document, the Page Number, Date of Printing, and Time of Printing fields may be inserted by using keystrokes instead of using a mouse to select the Date, Time, and Page icons on the header/footer icon bar.

The keystrokes to insert the fields are: 

   ALT+SHIFT+P (inserts Page Number)
   ALT+SHIFT+D (inserts Date of Printing)
   ALT+SHIFT+T (inserts Time of Printing)

MORE INFORMATION

These keystrokes may also be used in a document without activating the header/footer.
