  In the English version follow the menu's:
  Insert / Fields / Date
  Insert / Fields / Time
   In addition to this, you can right click either the date or time 
 that you have created. Select Fields to open the Edit Fields dialog. 
 At the bottom of the Format list, select Additional formats. This 
 opens the Number Format dialog. Look through the Format list to find the 
 timestamp format. It also has a Format code box in which you can specify 
 the specific code you want to use.

This is LO 4.0, so it may not have the elements you are talking about.  I 
used help and repeatedly did everything it said to insert the date.   
The default date acceptance pattern seems to have been M/D/Y/;M/D but that 
didn't work, so I changed it to //, since I want the day, month, 
day of the week, and year to display and that doesn't work either.  It comes 
up Date (fixed) no matter what.  
I only downloaded and installed writer since that is the only part of LO I 
will be using.  Do I need to have installed one of the other sections as 
well? or something else? thanks in advance.

You are showing the actual field name rather than the value.

Hit 'CTRL-F9'

Or

Click 'View'  'Field Names'
