inserting date and time

[project34weaste]

how do i stop date and time updating in word document when reopening even
though the update automatically box is unchecked

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

The setting of the "Update automatically" box is relevant only at the time
the date is inserted (as text when the box is unchecked, as a DATE field
when it's checked). To solve the existing problem, press Alt+F9 to display
field codes, change DATE (or TIME) to CREATEDATE, Alt+F9 to toggle back, and
F9 to update.

[Charles Kenyon]

You are using a DATE or TIME field rather than a CREATEDATE field. This
field should be put in the original template if possible.

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.

different kinds of datefields and how to format them.
