Press Alt+F9 to toggle the field code display and edit the DATE field code
to read CREATEDATE. Then Alt+F9 to toggle back and F9 to update. The date
displayed will be the date the document was created, and it will not change.

When I open old Word documents, the date gets automatically changed to the
current date and I can't view the date that the document actually had. I
am
using MS Office 2007, but the old document was created in Word 2003. I can
see the date that the file was last modified in the details of the file,
but
I cant guarantee that the date of the document is the same as the date
last
modified for the file.
