Instead of using a DATE field in your templates, use a CREATEDATE field. See

...
I use Microsoft word (2003 office) templates for writing letters and
faxes.
Those documents automatically update to the current date. I like that.
But. whenever I open those documents later, the date changes again to the
current date.
Then, I have no idea when those documents were created. That is very
frustrating.
Please advise me how not to change the date after saving.
TIA. Craig
