Retrieving original date of "updated" document
Word automatically updated my filed document when I open it. Is there any
way I can find out what the original date was? Is it permanently lost? -- Phil DeProtine |

Retrieving original date of "updated" document
The reason is that you have inserted a date field which shows the system
date. What you need to do is change those date fields for createdate fields - ALT+F9 change {DATE \@ "d MMM yyyy"}or {TIME \@ "d MMM yyyy"} to {CREATEDATE \@ "d MMM yyyy"} then F9 and ALT+F9 - and change the date in your letterhead template so that future letters based on it show the correct dates. The switches \@ "d MMM yyyy" may be different at your location. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Phil DeProtine wrote: Word automatically updated my filed document when I open it.
