Yes, and though I was ashamed to say so, I think my recollection may have
been based on use of (certain) documents as the basis for new ones (for
example, there's a particular invoice statement that is easier to create
this way because the wording is slightly different from that in my invoice
template).

That can certainly still happen in Word 2007 if the "template" is actually
a .docx, rather than a .dotx. While I am reasonably sure /you/ would
always work from a proper template, others might not. The thing is that
when you choose Office button-New, the items listed under "Recently used
templates" may be .docx files as well as .dotx files, and may not list
extensions depending on other settings. If you select a .docx rather than
a .dotx and click Create, the existing value of a CREATEDATE field is not
updated until you perfomr one of the actions that you would expect to
update it (select, then F9 etc.).

I see now that you are right, but I could have sworn that I had some
templates that create documents on which the date is not correct until I
print. A brief trial doesn't turn up any of these templates, however, so
I stand corrected.
