Date and Time problems

M

MikeB

I note that, when I call up a saved letter doc, the date has changed on it to
the current date.
I use the "insert date" facility from the Insert menu whcih I find very
useful but I really would like it to remain unchanged forwever on saved docs.
Can anyone help me please?

I use W2k -Office 2003 - Word 2003

Press ALT+F9
Change the date (or time) field to a createdate field
Press F9 and if neccessary ALT+F9 to display the creation date.
Save the document. (NOT SaveAs which will reset the date to the current
date)

You are using a DATE or TIME field rather than a CREATEDATE field. This
field should be put in the original template if possible (instead of
inserting using the keyboard shortcut or header/footer toolbar button).

In the document in question, press Alt-F9 to display field codes. Then
change the field to a CREATEDATE field, press F9 and then Alt-F9.

See http://addbalance.com/word/datefields1.htm for information on the
different kinds of datefields and how to format them.
