The "Update automatically" setting in the Date and Time dialog box
applies only to the field you are currently inserting; it doesn't
change anything in existing documents.
To fix the problem, you'll have to do the following: Open a document
where the date keeps updating. Press Alt+F9 to display the field code.
You'll see something similar to: { DATE \@ "MM/dd/yy" }. Replace the
DATE part with CREATEDATE and press F9. Repeat for each affected
document.

HELP! How can
I keep the date the document was written as the date on the
document.
