1. Have a look at Data/Validation/List, perhaps that's you are looking for!
2. Pressing Ctrl+: enters current time in the active cell.

1. Data menu/Validation submenu/Choose List from the drop down list.
2. As far as I know No, but perhaps you can use the NOW() function, because
it is not updated automatically in OpenOffice.

Ok i already solved problem 1!!

Problem 2 is resonably done but i would like to make it more acurate.

The Ctrl+: gives me the correct hh:mm but it doens't give me the seconds
even if i chose hh:mm:ss it shows like 11:41:00.

Is there anything i can change in my EXCEl to give the seconds?

Unfortunately I could find only a workaround method, a Change event macro.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "$D$1" Then 'adjust reference as required!
Target.NumberFormat = "hh:mm:ss"
Target.Value = Time
End If
End Sub

Type anything in cell D1, hitting Enter will store current time with seconds.

I tried the code would gave me it worked fine for one cell but it doesn't
work for things like $D$1:$D$10.

Is there anyway to return the seconds along a column with that code?

This version works for all cell in column D:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Column = 4 Then '4th (D) column
Target.NumberFormat = "hh:mm:ss"
Target.Value = Time
End If
End Sub
