I have a couple of saved documents that are important but the date the
document was created keeps changing to the current date when I open
it. Why is this and how can I stop it from happening?
The dates are fields. Right-click one and select Toggle Field Codes, and
you'll something like {DATE \@ "M/d/yyyy"}. Change the word DATE to
CREATEDATE. Right-click and select Update Field to get the date the document
was created.
In future documents, wherever you want the date to always be the creation
date, use the Insert > Field dialog and choose the CreateDate field, instead
of using the Insert > Date dialog. If you're making a template, you can
still use CreateDate -- each new document based on the template will show
the document's creation date, not the template's date.
