Hi RNBRN-

It really doesn't make any difference what your setting is, it depends on
how the date was inserted into the doc when it was created. To prevent future
changes you can select & cut the date, then use EditPaste
SpecialUnformatted Text to paste it back in.

When opening an old document in Word, the current date is being inserted. The
"Update automatically" box is *not* checked in the insert date and time
option on the "Insert" menu.

I'm operating in Word 2000 (professional). Since some of these documents
were created by others and sent to me, another version of Word may have been
used to create the document.
