Auto Date change
I am a PC tech for a company and user put in a helpdesk ticket with the
following isuue. The user has a two year old word document that when he opens it, it automatically changes the date to the current date. For example: December 1, 2003 becomes December 16, 2005 when he opens the document. How do I get this to stop? I have tried to look through the options and customize settings. Any help would be greatful. |

Auto Date change
You are using a DATE or TIME field rather than a CREATEDATE field. This
field should be put in the original template if possible (instead of inserting using the keyboard shortcut or header/footer toolbar button). In the document in question, press Alt-F9 to display field codes. Then change the field to a CREATEDATE field, press F9 and then Alt-F9. See http://addbalance.com/word/datefields1.htm for information on the different kinds of datefields and how to format them. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
