Dated Documents

N

Nic

I have dated all of my documents in MS Word 2000. But
when I open them later they default to the current date
and does not hold the original date they were created.
What can I do to stop this?

Please help.

What can I do to stop this?

Work from templates (other than normal.dot) that have a CreateDate field in
them where you want a date. In the legacy documents, press Alt-F9 to reveal
field codes. You'll see either a Date or a Time field. Change "Date" or
"Time" in the field to "CreateDate" and press F9 to update the field, then
Alt-F9 to hide the codes again.

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