The update is a setting for a specific field that is determined when the
field is inserted. It isn't a system-wide or document setting. Best is
probably to put a CreateDate field in a template and create new documents
from that template when you need them. The date would then be updated. See
http://addbalance.com/word/datefields1.htm for information on the different
kinds of datefields and how to format them.
