After reinstalling Word 2003, the dates changed in earlier pages
Due to a hard drive failure I had to reinstall Office 2003. Previously I
entered the date by using a macro and this recoded (say) in letters the date written. After saving this date remained as entered. Since reinstalling all the dates change to the day's date. So all my past letters now carry today's date. Whay has happened and how can I correct it? |

If the dates have changed, you have them inserted as DATE (or TIME) fields.
Change them to CREATEDATE fields and update them to show the creation dates. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Alan wrote: Due to a hard drive failure I had to reinstall Office 2003.

Your macro undoubtedly inserted the CreateDate field. You can do this just
as easily with an AutoText entry, to which you can assign a keyboard shortcut, or you can use AutoComplete if you give it a four-character unique name. -- Suzanne S.
