I've just figured out what I was doing wrong. I should have chosen 'save
date' not 'create date' field.

I'm creating a template in Word 2003. In the footer, I want to insert create
date field. When I've done this before, each new template begins with a date
of zero (00:00:00). When I save and name it to create a document, the current
date is displayed.

For some reason the template has the current date in it and does not say
00:00:00 as I would have expected. What am I doing wrong?
