Ultimately you can't. Suzanne's suggestion is probably the closest you are
going to get, but it is not infallible. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org CReubens wrote: How can I find the date a Word document was originally created? |

MS Word document date query.
Well, thank you for your response, Suzanne, I guess. I mean, it seemed as
though your suggestion was for me to visit the Word MVP FAQ webpage and get my question actually answered there. Ah, but I TRIED that, and to no avail. I also tried right-clicking in a blank portion of the document, expecting "Properties" to pop up upwhence I'd be able to finally obtain the date I originally created the document. But no such luck. "Properties" simply didn't pop up, no matter where nor how many times I right-clicked! I'm still left with the feeling that the date I wrote that letter is SOMEWHERE hidden deep within the bowels of my computer, but I've given up on finding out precisely where... "Suzanne S.

Thanks for your reply. Please see the longer response I just posted to

She told you how to view the creation date. She also told you that you could
use a CreateDate field. I'm going to tell you to visit http://addbalance.com/word/datefields1.htm for information on the different kinds of datefields and how to format them. Suzanne and Graham correctly informed you that this date may not be correct, but it is the only date on this that Work keeps track of and it is usually correct. I don't know how it can be made clearer.

Have you tried selecting Properties on the File menu, then looking at the
Statistics tab? That's what "File | Properties | Statistics" is shorthand for. As for date fields, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/DateFields.htm -- Suzanne S.
