Default inserting the file name

Hi,

basically I am trying to automate a form as much as possible.

I have a master form in a file called master.doc

it's on the work's network so I don't want to use templets yet.


Q1) Is there a way to automatically insert the document name
(filename) into a document but without the extension?

e.g.
I would like results.doc to be inserted as results



Q2) I would like to have the date automatically inserted.

I have put a save date field into the document but...

as I am not using a templet on the network, I have created a master file
and when I need a new document from it I copy and paste it into the
current directory then I change the file name.

It's a form I have created at work.

But the create date field puts the original create date for when the
master doc was made. Which I understand but I would really like it to
have the new date.

But that leads to another problem;

if the document is opened for printing some people may click 'yes' to
the save changes box that appears before it closes down after printing.

I would rather they didn't save any changed as this would change the
save date filed.
