I think that depends on how it was saved. Word's internal "creation
date" won't be reset if the attachment was simply saved from the email
to a file. If the attachment was opened in Word and saved by Word to a
file, then it would show that date. (Another good reason not to open
attachments directly.)

That may still show the date the attachment was saved on your computer,
though.

Insert a CreateDate field with the appropriate date/time formatting.

I received a MS Word 2003 document as an attachment to an e-mail. When
I
saved it it showed the"date created" as the date I saved it. Is there
any
way that I can determine the date and time the document
was actually created by the author? Thanks
