When i create a document (letter) and open it at a later date the date on the
letter changes to the current date not the date the document was created. How
do I prevent this from hapening?

Press Alt+F9 to display the date field code and change DATE or TIME to
CREATEDATE. Then Alt+F9 to toggle the display back and F9 to update. It's a
good idea to use a CreateDate field in your letter templates to begin with.

G'Day Jahafd,

When you
Insert>Date & Time...
ensure that 'update automatically' is NOT ticked.

Do NOT
Insert>Field (Date)
