When you insert date, there is a check box that reads Update automatically.
Uncheck and retype the "future" date.

My company writes a lot of press releases. Some of these are dated in
advance. Not all time, but often a user will put in a future date, work on
the press release, save and close the document. When they open the
document
back up, it defaults to the current date. Anybody know where the setting
to
turn it off is? I checked Insert - Date and Time, and made sure "Update
Automatically" was not checked.

Thank you!
