The CreateDate field will not change for the template, but it will be
correct for any new document based on the template, though you may have to
update it manually (with F9) or by printing.

Sorry, I neglected to mention when I add the CREATEDATE field the date I
get
is from 2006 when the template was originally created.

Suzanne,
This does not seem to help. What I have is a template created back in
2006.
I just recenlty added the Date field so that when the template is used
the
user does not have to enter the date. However, when they save their
document
I want that date to become fixed and no longer update with the date
whenever
the document is opened for viewing in the future. For example, I type a
doc
and save it today and the date will show Oct 22, 2007. One week from now
I
need to view that letter so I open it. The date should show Oct 22, 2007
but,
instead is showing Oct 29, 2007. I do not want this to occur.
Am I offbase here?

Insert a CREATEDATE field instead of a DATE field. See

Good afternoon all.
I have set up a field in Word that displays today's date. I use the
template
to create a document and then save it. However, if I recall that
document
to
view it in the future the date shows as the date it is viewed. I
want it
to
remain static once the document is saved. Is there a way to do this
other
than just typing in the date?
