Default Automatic date

For creating individual letters - insert a CREATEDATE filed where the date
is to appear and save the document as a template. New documents created from
the template will always show the date they were created.

For your letter when used as a merge document, insert a DATE field. This
will always show the system date of the PC.

Hi, please tell me how to set up the automatic date so that every
time I use this document it will use the currect date (March 14,
2008). I do use this letter to also merge with my data. I am pretty
frustrated and need help in simple layman terms.
Thank you very much.
