When I pull a letter out of my document file it always has the current date.
How can I get it to keep the date when it was written? |

Document file letter date
In the template that you use to create the letter, use a CREATEDATE field.

wcoh9225 was telling us:
wcoh9225 nous racontait que : When I pull a letter out of my document file it always has the current date. How can I get it to keep the date when it was written? I will assume that you inserted the date via the Date and Time... button on the Insert menu. When you do, make sure not to check the "Update date automatically" box in the Date/Time dialog box. -- Salut! _______________________________________ Jean-Guy Marcil - Word MVP ISTOO Word MVP site: http://www.word.mvps.org |

Press Alt+F9 to reveal the field code of the date you have (it will show
DATE or TIME); edit this to read CREATEDATE, Alt+F9 to toggle back, and F9 to update. To insert the field in a new document/template, use Insert | Field: CreateDate. -- Suzanne S.
