How can I save the original date typed within a memo?

When I open the document to review or print, the date changes to the date
that I am accessing the document as opposed to the original date that the
memo was authored.

Your DATE field needs to be changed to a CREATEDATE field. Check out the

When I open the document to review or print, the date changes to the
date that I am accessing the document as opposed to the original date
that the memo was authored.

Right-click the date and choose Toggle Field Codes. In the field code,
change the word DATE (or TIME) to CREATEDATE. Right-click again and choose
Update Field.
