You've entered a DATE field (press Alt-F9 to see it). Use CreateDate
instead.

Using Word 2000. I type a date in a letter DD MM YYYY (not automatic) and
save the document. But when i reopen at a later date the date is changed
to
the current date which I don't want. How can I stop this happening
please.
Thank you
