Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: hekp - auto-insert date

Only way I could think of to do that would be to write a listener (macro) That recognizes the new 
row event (assuming there is one and I didn't look to see if there is one) that would then 
automatically insert a date. You could also write a macro that just inserts one and then assign it 
to a keystroke so you just hit one key and it automatically inserts the date into the first column 
of whatever row is current.
