Date Automatically Updating
How do I turn this feature off? I have documents that are changed frequently
but don't need the date changed. I can't remember where this is to turn it off. -- Thanks, Denise |

Has the date been inserted as a field?

No... this is an old document. Our administrator has reloaded the Microsoft
Suite back onto my machine and I am having all kinds of issues with Word now. -- Thanks, Denise "Rae Drysdale" wrote: Has the date been inserted as a field? -- Rae Drysdale "Rae Drysdale" wrote: Insert | Date and Time and remove the tick from the box to Update automatically. -- Rae Drysdale "Denise" wrote: How do I turn this feature off?

Date Automatically Updating
You are inserting the date as a DATE field, which is the result of using the
Insert | Date and Time dialog with the "Update automatically" box checked (its current setting is irrelevant; the setting when you inserted the date is important) or with the Insert Date button on the Header and Footer toolbar or with the Alt+Shift+D shortcut. What you want instead is a CREATEDATE field. For existing documents, press Alt+F9 to display the field code and change DATE to CREATEDATE. Alt+F9 to toggle back and F9 to update. For new documents, either type the date as text or insert a CREATEDATE field in the template. For more on date fields, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/DateFields.htm -- Suzanne S.

Okay... I checked the box and then rebooted my machine and then unchecked the
box and rebooted and it is working now. WEIRD! -- Thanks, Denise "Denise" wrote: No... this is an old document.

I am not using a date field at all. I am typing in the date.

If the date on old documents is updating to the current date, I assure you
it is a field. Alt+F9 will tell the tale, though. -- Suzanne S.
