Date on letter changes to current date when opened - how to stop.
In Word, when reopening letters previously typed, the date of the letter is
automatically changed to the current date, losing the actual date of the letter - how can that be stopped? |

Instead of using a DATE field, use CREATEDATE.

You are using a DATE or TIME field rather than a CREATEDATE field. This
field should be put in the original template if possible. 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://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
