Sounds like maybe keyboard commander is turned on and the command to Run
Applescript script “Time of Day” is enabled.
You can view and change this option by opening the VO Utility, navigating to
the “Commanders” category, and selecting the “keyboard commander” tab.

My friend told me that I have to turn my hardware keys to software keys on

Are you using Mavericks?
I think the command has changed under Mavericks because of tabbed windows in
Finder.
I do not use Mavericks yet but I seem to recall you now have to add the
option key to command shift T but somebody else should probably confirm
this.

This setting is in the keyboard section of your system preferences.
And, you don’t *have* to change this, it’s mostly personal preference.
With this setting, one way makes it so you can adjust screen brightness, etc,

The way I learn about these modified menu options is by luck, when I
am reading about a particular topic, or by navigating to each menu
option, then press Option key by itself to see if VO announces

Hi!
Does anyone know how this is done?
I put a date at the top of my shopping list and I type this in manually every
time I update the list but would would be far more convenient if there was a
way of Pages inserting the date every time the document was updated.

I think at this stage you need to update the date manually. Some word
processors allow you to insert a last modified date, and Maybe Apple will add
this in a future update to Pages, but for now we have to manually update the
date like 20th Century fools.

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.
