When I open a letter created using Word 2003 on an earlier date I would like
the date displayed to be the original creation date and NOT today's date. How can I do this? |

How to preserve original document date in opening word file
Right-click the date and choose Toggle Field Codes. You'll see something
like { DATE \@ "MMMM d, yyyy" }. Change DATE to CREATEDATE. Right-click again and choose Update Field. If you use a template to create letters like this, make the same change in the template so future letters won't have to be altered. If you're just using the Insert Date and Time dialog in a plain document, don't do that -- instead, use the Insert Field dialog and choose the CreateDate field. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
