Are you sure? Since you can't reproduce it (neither can I, in Word 2001), I
suspect maybe it got rechecked somehow. But a macro is the way to go
anyhow, rather than click 5 different times to use the menu.

If you Insert Date and Time with that box unchecked, it isn't even a field,
so no way it could possibly update.

Re this suggestion, Unlinking the field (Unlink Field, which makes it plain
text) is probably more what he wants. But either would work.
Here's the macro I just recorded, Inserting Date and Time with "update"
unchecked. Note that it will *not* be a field. I think you already have the
links on what to do with macros and assigning a shortcut to them, Rafael?
Sub InsertTime()
Selection.InsertDateTime DateTimeFormat:="M/d/yy h:mm AM/PM", _
InsertAsField:=False
End Sub
