You are using a DATE or TIME field rather than a CREATEDATE field. This
field should be put in the original template if possible (instead of
inserting using the keyboard shortcut or header/footer toolbar button).

See http://addbalance.com/word/datefields1.htm for information on the
different kinds of datefields and how to format them.

I want to create a letterhead template which will have today's date at
the top. I would like to use the date field. However, when I save a
new letter, I would like the date field to convert to text spelling out
the date I wrote the letter, so if I need to reprint the letter at a
future date, it will not put the date of printing on the letter instead
of the original date the letter was written.
Any help would be appreciated.
