Document automatic date change when opened

How can I keep the date when I wrote a document from changing when I open it
at a later date?

Hi steve,

Assuming the date is being inserted via a template, open the template and change the DATE field to a CREATEDATE field. To do this,
select the DATE field, press Shift-F9 to expose the field code and change DATE to CREATEDATE.

You can make the same change to the existing documents. That will get Word to display the date on which the documents were created
(or last saved via File|Save As).
