One post that I found
(http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?listName=users&msgNo=195082)
contains a VERY near miss:
o Go to Tools | Customize... | Keyboard.
o At the top right, select the appropriate radio
button - for OpenOffice.org or for the relevant component.
o Under Category, select Insert.
o Under Function, select Date.
o Under "Shortcut keys", select your preferred keystroke.
o Click Modify and OK.
Under the Function category, I do not see an item called "Date". I
wish it were there!
The reason that you do not see "Date" is that you are working in
Calc; the explanation above (it was mine!) was for inserting a date
into a text (Writer) document.
In fact, it is not a "near miss" for your problem anyway, since it
will insert a date *field* which updates as necessary; you have made
clear that this is not what you want.
I trust this helps.
