Im new at using VB in word so don't laugh

Can I use something like =now() to display the date and time within Word?

I can only use Excel properly at the moment

hi, you can also type in 'date or time' in VBA Help for more info. good luck.

Dim Today
Today = Now ' Assign current system date and time.

From the Word GUI menu option: Insert | Date and Time
or
From the Word GUI menu option: Insert | Field
Next dialog, choose: CreateDate (from the dropdown)
or
From the Word GUI menu option: Insert | Field
Next dialog, choose: Date (from the dropdown)

Or insert a PrintDate field using a (recorded) macro:

Selection.Fields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldEmpty, Text:=
_
"PRINTDATE ", PreserveFormatting:=True
