Save the mail merge main document as a template and use a CREATEDATE field
for the date. When a document is created from the template, the date that
is displayed will be the date on which the document is created.

I am working with mailmerge documents which must print today's date in the
letter. A copy of the generated file also must be saved as an historic
archive of what was printed today, retaining the generated date even when
being viewed tomorrow.
I had started with Today and realized that it recalculates each time the
document is opened. No good.
So then I built the document with SAVEDATE and it seems to work as long as
I
manually run the merge from within the document.
The desired goal, however, is to use a VBA macro to run the merge and then
copy and store the generated file in a specific directory. Though the
SAVEDATE works within the manual merge process, the macro's execution of
the
merge generates a date before today...?
Any advice?
Thanks.
