This "DATE" field is unique in each document. It really isn't a STYLE that
can be updated automatically. I'm sure someone out there might have a macro
that could search through a folder and find a DATE field and replace it with
a CREATEDATE field, save it, close it, and move on to another one. I know
of a "Batch and Replace" macro but I'm not sure if it will work for fields.
Maybe someone else might have a solution. Until then, guess you will need
to open each one. SORRY!

Do I have to do this for Every Document that is having the problem? Or
will
it "mass-fix" the problem?

Sorry, I forgot to mention that you also will need to right-click and
select
"Update Field", or press F9 to get it to change back to the date you
want.

I recently switched from Word 2000 to Word 2003. I noticed that
documents
I
had originally saved (example: September 21, 2004 was date on letter)
are
showing up as today (example: December 16, 2004) even though I had
already
saved the letter, and just had to open it to re-print. I have already
cleared
the UPDATE AUTOMATICALLY box, however, some documents' date remains
the
origination date, and some change to today's date. Any ideas?
