Use =now(), then copy it and paste it back using one of the paste
options to paste the value only rather than the formula (I think it's
under "paste special").

I can use =now() to insert the current date and time, but that gets
updated, ie I want it to stay at the time of entry, but it keeps being,
well, now.

Any other ideas how I can permanently record the current time without
axtually typing the whole lot in?
