When you insert the date by using Insert--Date and Time, you need to
uncheck the "Update Automatically" checkbox. ******************* ~Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com www.MyExpertsOnline.com "Mastershanker" wrote in message ... Can someone tell me how to prevent letters that I have saved automatically redating to todays date when reopened |

You have inserted a date or time field which displays the system date. Right
click and toggle the date field and change DATE or TIME to CREATEDATE. F9 to update and if it doesn't automatically toggle back, right click and toggle back again. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Mastershanker wrote: Can someone tell me how to prevent letters that I have saved automatically redating to todays date when reopened |

You are using a DATE or TIME field rather than a CREATEDATE field. This
field should be put in the original template if possible (instead of inserting using the keyboard shortcut or header/footer toolbar button). I put a CreateDate field in my letterhead template. When a new letter is created, it updates to that date and stays put. 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.
