This element allows the insertion of the current date and/or hour in different formats.

The default format is dd/MM/yyyy H:mm:ss that will render something like 30/01/2014 7:35:48, where:

• dd stands for the day in two digit format,
• MM stands for the month in two digit format,
• yyyy stands for the year in 4 digit format,
• H, mm and ss correspond to hours, minutes and seconds respectively.

This default format can be changed at will through the format option. For example, if we use as format: dd' of 'MMMM' of 'yyyy' at 'HH:mm it will result in something like this: 30 of January of 2014 at 07:35.

The docx standard offers us multiple possibilities that may be explored via this link.
