Default How to stop Word inserting auto dates

Agreed - and if you are using Save As you're creating a *new* file not a
"copy" of the original.

Hi Pam,

Neither renaming nor copying a file (via Windows explorer) changes the
CREATEDATE value - only using File|Save As from within Word does that.

I did. And I've read many other similar suggestions. What happens to the
create date if you rename the file, or make a copy? Such information in
business records needs to be in static text, IMHO.

Huh??? Did you read Suzanne's reply? It isn't that the right type of
field
isn't available, it's that the wrong type of field was used.
