If the date on old documents is updating to the current date, I assure you
it is a field. Alt+F9 will tell the tale, though.

I am not using a date field at all. I am typing in the date.

You are inserting the date as a DATE field, which is the result of using
the
Insert | Date and Time dialog with the "Update automatically" box
checked
(its current setting is irrelevant; the setting when you inserted the
date
is important) or with the Insert Date button on the Header and Footer
toolbar or with the Alt+Shift+D shortcut. What you want instead is a
CREATEDATE field.
For existing documents, press Alt+F9 to display the field code and
change
DATE to CREATEDATE. Alt+F9 to toggle back and F9 to update. For new
documents, either type the date as text or insert a CREATEDATE field in
the
template.

How do I turn this feature off? I have documents that are changed
frequently
but don't need the date changed. I can't remember where this is to
turn it
off.
