How can I get the static time to include seconds? I can manually insert
using the Control+Shift+; and I can format the cell, but the seconds is
always 00.

Ctrl-Shift-; always gives hours and minutes, not seconds (don't know why).

Unfortunately, that is how Excel does it.

You can use =NOW() and copy/paste special>values immediately.

You could use a small macro attached to a button or a shortcut key.

Sub NOWTIME()
ActiveCell.Value = Format(Now(), "h:mm:ss AM/PM")
End Sub
