Reading Help on fields might be a better approach. Pressing Alt-F9 toggles
the display of field codes and field results (also available on Tools
Options). Fields are instructions to Word to insert some automatic content.
Have a look at Insert Fields for the list of possibles. In this case, if
you look at where the date is displayed in the document, press Alt-F9 and
the date display will change to { DATE ... }

Change 'DATE' to 'CREATEDATE'.

retard, I tried Alt F9 and nothing happened? might be best if I just
accept
what is?

Everytime I open a saved Word document Word changes the date to the
current
date, these are legal documents that I am opening and I do not want
the
date
to change.
thanks
