Much easier than using vba is to create your letter from a template. You can
use a CREATEDATE field or simply mark the place to type the date using a
macrobutton. The line that holds the date field should in a different
paragraph style (i.e. "Date") which is based on your Body Text style or
Normal style, whatever you are using to type the letter. Set it so the next
paragraph will be in that base style (or some different style).
Set your headers/footers for different first page and in the header on the
second page insert a STYLEREF field referring to your Date style.
You can download a sample of this from <URL:
http://addbalance.com/word/download.htm> - look for the word STYLEREF. See
<URL:
http://addbalance.com/word/datefields1.htm> for information on the
different kinds of datefields and how to format them. See <URL:

about macrobutton fields.
