Default Is there a date field that will give the date a document was merge

I had read your article at:
http://www.gmayor.com/stop_automatic_date_update.htm

prior to asking my question, but wasn't able to make CREATEDATE change to a
new date when I used it on a later date (by changing the date in my
computer), but I wasn't using a Document Template. Is that my problem?

I should save my main document as a template, then each time it is opened to
create a new mail merge it will use that day's date (merge date) rather than
the create date of the template?

When I go back to open a merged document, I want to see the date it was
actually merged, not the current date or the date the main document was
created. In other words, if I 'Merge to a new Document' I want a date field
that gives the resulting document the 'date of merging', that doesn't update
when I go back to look at it in the future.

Please help. I am using MS Word 2003.
