Sigh.

Well, I could have spent time rebuilding the macro (which really means 
spending time relearning how to build a macro) but I found an extension 
that inserts "fixed values" for date or time. I was inserting @now which 
includes both date and time, and in the long run is more useful for 
calculations. But I can get along with just inserting the current time 
for the purposes of this time sheet spreadsheet.
