Back dating a document
I am trying to apply a previous date to a letter. I previously created this
letter using Word's Elegant Letter wizard and saved it as a template with my personal information. However, when I print, the document reverts back to today's date. How do I turn this feature off, even temporarily? |

Back dating a document
In the template, press Alt+F9 to show field codes. You'll find that
your date is in fact a DATE or TIME field, which looks something like this: { DATE \@ "M/d/yy" }. Replace the DATE (or TIME) part with CREATEDATE. Press F9 to update. Press Alt+F9 again to hide field codes. Save the file. Repeat this procedure for each existing document created from the template. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Joe" wrote in message ...

Press ALT+F9
Change the {DATE} or {TIME} field to a {CREATEDATE} field. Press f9 to update. Then if necessary ALT+F9 to toggle the display back again. Open your template and do the same there. Don't worry that the date shown is the date you created the template. Documents created from that template will show the dates they were created. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Joe wrote: I am trying to apply a previous date to a letter.
