Insert date and time in Word

In Word 97-2003 - Insert>Date and Time... then select the desired formatting switch and click on the Default button.

In later versions, Insert>Date & Time then select the desired formatting switch and click on the Default button.

Where is the Insert> Date & Time?  I am using Word 2007 and have no idea where to find this other than in the icon I print screened and sent to you.  Did that not come through?  See I've been using word for about 16 years now and always, always the change was done in the Region and Language section located in Control Panel.  I did fix it and it confirmed that it was fixed but it will not, will not stick!!!!

Date & Time is on the Insert tab of the ribbon in Word 2007 and 2010.

Note that you can't post attachments here. You will have to upload a picture to SkyDrive and then post a link here.

Okay, that explains it (the print screen not showing up in my responses), the insert date and time is exactly what my icon represents.

It shows (today): Tuesday, December 04, 2012, when what I need is: Tuesday, December 4, 2012.  And once again, I have always been directed to Region and Language in control panel to correct such anomalies.  There is no way to change the date format in Word unless there is and I heretofore have been blissfully unaware.

What happens if you employ and excute this:

Sub DateLongStamp()

'Inserts current date

Selection.InsertDateTime DateTimeFormat:="dddd, MMMM d, yyyy", InsertAsField:=False

End Sub

To begin with pressing ALT + F8 did nothing. I did find that macros window independent of that command. I am reluctant to screw up my computer. What is the downside of working with macros should I screw it up?
