{ TIME [\@ "Date-Time Picture"] }

Inserts the current time. Microsoft Word inserts a TIME field when you click Insert Time on the Header and Footer toolbar (toolbar: A bar with buttons and options that you use to carry out commands. To display a toolbar, press ALT and then SHIFT+F10.). Unless you specify a date-time picture switch (switch: When working with fields, a special instruction that causes a specific action to occur. Generally, a switch is added to a field to modify a result.), the time is displayed in the format specified as part of the regional settings in Microsoft Windows Control Panel.

 Note   When you use the Date and Time command (Insert menu) and select the Update automatically check box, Word inserts a TIME field. Depending on the format you select, Word uses a date-time picture switch to display the current time or date or both. For example, if you select "10/12/95 10:11 AM" in the Date and Time dialog box, Word inserts the field { TIME \@ "MM/dd/yy h:mm AM/PM" }.
