Automatic date changing

P

I use Office Word 2003. If I type a doc with today's date, save it and open
it tomorrow, it will have tomorrow's date on it, not the date I typed it.
How do I stop that?

If you type the date, the date will not update.

If you Insert a Date and Time, there is a box that you need to clear to
prevent automatic updating.
