Hello Dane, If you create a template for your shopping list, you can insert a date field that will be set to today’s date each time you open the template. Go to the Insert menu and choose Date & Time. Press Return (by default, Pages takes the Date and Time format from the Full definition in System Preferences, Language & Region pane). However, you can change the date and time format as follows: Go to the last item then press left arrow to highlight the date and time. Bring the mouse and do VO-Shift-Space. You’ll hear the current date followed by “Pop up button”. Click this button to get a menu giving various forms of the date. Use VO-w to spell out each one and select the one you prefer by pressing Return. The Choose Date Format pop up window opens where you can change the date and time format as well as its values. The unlabelled button to the right of Set to today is the Calendar button. Clicking the Calendar button allows you to set any date you like. Press Return when you’re done.
