I wondered about that, too, as I was pretty sure CreateDate had been
suggested already in this thread.

I'm just curious. How did you manage to "not think about a CreateDate
field" when I suggested it twice?

I've reproduced what I said below--was there something unclear about the
phrasing that I could improve for the future? Suggestions welcome.

used.
Thankyou!!!

Is there some reason you can't use a CreateDate field?

Where is this date coming from? What does it signify? If it matches
one of
Word's predefined fields--for instance "date doc was created" "date
doc was
last saved" "date doc was last printed"--using one of those will be
by far
be the easiest way, and will let you put the date in the header.

Is the date related to the doc in any way? E.g., you could use a
CreateDate field in two places.
