there are plenty of options like this one. We can even customize them to any format we

want. But if you use Google Docs to write and maintain your documents you might have

noticed that there is no way to simply insert current date and time in to the document like

how we did in Word document. Although, it's shocking to know Google hasn't yet made that

feature available, to circumvent this problem for now, we can make use of code snippets

to do that job for us. These are tiny macros, that can helps us with immediate solutions.

No don't worry about writing any code, it is pretty simple and you too can get it to

work after you finish watching this video. Go to Google document, click on Tools and

click on Script editor. A new script project opens up. Simply clear out all the existing

code in it. Let me select all and delete it now.

Now goto this code snippet, copy and paste it into this code editor. Save the code and

now refresh to reload your Google document. While refreshing, you'll see that the code

window auto-closes out. You can now see that there is a new menu item

added which will have a link to inserting date. That's it !! but now again if you want

further customize your date format, you need to have a basic understanding of what this

code does. Basically, the first section creates a new menu within this current Google docs

file called 'Utilities' and adds a menu item called 'Insert date'. And then the second

part of this code inserts the date at your current cursor position in the Google docs

file in bold format. And here's where you can rearrange the date

formats or change it to suit your needs. And for possible date formats, you can just check
