Each time I receive a word document the date updates since users do not lock
the field. How can I open the file and have the original date kept?
thanks

once the document is not created by you, you have no control over that
behavior.

When you create a document yourself, you can choose a different field
altogether (CREATEDATE, SAVEDATE, PRINTDATE), or lock a field, or insert
the date as normal text.
