I'm looking for guidance on how to create a custom command that inserts the long format version of the date when I enter a specific command, such as 'add long date.' I want the output to be in the format 'Tuesday, October 3, 2023.'
I've been struggling to figure out how to implement this, and any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
To create a custom command to insert the long date format into a document, you can use the features provided by word processing software such as Microsoft Word. Here's a general guide on how to create such a command:
Using Microsoft Word as an Example:
Open Microsoft Word: Launch Microsoft Word and open the document in which you want to insert the long date format.
Enable Developer Tab: To create custom commands in Word, you need to have the Developer tab visible on the ribbon. To enable it, go to "File" > "Options" > "Customize Ribbon" and check the "Developer" option in the right-hand column.
Open Visual Basic for Applications (VBA): Click on the "Developer" tab

Hi Megan,
This is not possible today. Currently the custom voice command <date> inserts it as 10/6/2023 or 6/10/2023 depending on the country.
