===================================

Sub AutoOpen()

With Selection
   .EndKey Unit:=wdStory 'puts cursor at end
   .TypeParagraph 'starts a new line
   .InsertDateTime DateTimeFormat:="dd-MMM-yy", _
   InsertAsField:=False 'types in date in the above format
   .TypeParagraph 'starts a new line
End With

End Sub
