Press Alt+F9 to display the DATE field. Edit it to say CREATEDATE, then
Alt+F9 to toggle back and F9 (if necessary) to update the field. Better
still, change the field in the template you are using to create the invoice
or letter.

I'd like to know how to change the date option in Word. When I insert the
date in an invoice or letter, the next time I open it Word changes the
date
to the current date. I want it to keep the original date. I know there
is
some option I need to change but I can't seem to find it.
I'm using Word 7.
