She told you how to view the creation date. She also told you that you could
use a CreateDate field. I'm going to tell you to visit
http://addbalance.com/word/datefields1.htm for information on the different

this that Work keeps track of and it is usually correct.
I don't know how it can be made clearer. Sorry.

"Properties" to pop up upwhence I'd be able to finally obtain the date I

hidden
deep within the bowels of my computer, but I've given up on finding out
precisely where...
