Date fields
I want to use a date field to be inserted in a Word template that when opened
to produce a regular document supplies the current date. This date would not change with subsequent opening or saving of the document. I notice in the fields supplied by MS under the Insert menu, the fields "date" and createdate". What is the difference and would one of them accomplish what I'm trying to do? I thought this would be easily found in help, but it wasn't. |

Date fields
A Date field displays the system date from the PC. A Createdate field
displays the date the document was created (or saved using the SavedAs option). The createdate in the template will always be the date the template was created, but documents created from that template will show their creation dates. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org rcir88 wrote: I want to use a date field to be inserted in a Word template that when opened to produce a regular document supplies the current date.
