One with drop downs for hour, minute and AM/PM. There are options for a date picker or a date and time picker but not one for just time. Short of making three dropdown lists with the minutes part having to be put in one at a time from 01 to 59. I don't see a way.

Sometimes in a MicrosoftWordDocument, we want to add in our Document a DatePicker where someone can select a specific Date. We want the Calendar to be displayed, and for them to select a Date. This is where the ContentControls show up, where all we need to do is to create one. A quite simple procedure but very helpful one. All you need to do is to keep on reading the post below.

What are ContentControls thought first? They are individual controls that we can add and customize for use in templates, forms, and documents. For example, many online forms are designed with a drop-down list control that provides a restricted set of choices for the user of the form. Content controls can provide instructional text for users, and we can set controls to disappear when users type in their own text. Source here.

In the image below I have activated the Developer tab, where we can see the areas that the Ribbon contains.

We must then select the DatePickerContentControl command from the area of the ribbon named Controls as shown below, where we will be able to Insert A Date Content Control.

Before we select the command, we must place the cursor at the place where want our DatePickerContent Control to be inserted in our Document. Once we have done that, we select the command and then in our Document we notice a ControlPicker mentioning Click Or TapTo Enter A Date. Once the ControlPicker is still selected, we select the command Properties of the Controls area of the ribbon on the Developer tab as shown below.

Once the Properties command is selected, the ContentControlProperties dialog box appears as shown in the image below.

The ContentControlProperties dialog box is separated in the following areas where we can use the following commands below:

Under the area General:

  • Title: We type in the Title of the ContentControl.
  • Tag: We type in the Tag of the ContentControl.
  • Shown As: We can select one of the following options: BoundingBox, Start/End Tag, None
  • Color: We can select the Color of the ContentControl
  • Use A Style To Format Text Typed Into The Empty Control
  • Style: We can select one of the existing Styles for the ContentControl.
  • New Style: We can create a NewStyle for the ContentControl.
  • Remove Content Control When Contents Are Edited

Under the area Locking:

  • Contents Control Cannot Be Deleted
  • Contents Cannot Be Edited

Under the area Date Picker Properties:

  • Display The Date Like This: We select the Format that we want for our Date to appear.
  • Locale: We select the LocaleSettings needing according where we are located.
  • Calendar Type: We select the type of the Calendar needed, for example Gregorian.
  • Store XML Contents In The Following Format When Mapped

Whatever adjustment we make, at the end we must select the Ok button which is located at the bottom right corner of the ContentControlProperties dialog box for them to take place.
