Default why does date keep changing to current in saved documents

Use a CreateDate field instead of a Date field in your templates.

Hello everyone,
I'm using Word 2003. I've set up some templates which I use to raise
quotation documents from. One of the features I'm using is 'current
date' because I like not having to type that in on every quote.
However I must have tweaked something lately, though I can't remember
exactly what I did, and now all my saved quotes of the past few weeks
are showing are showing the current date instead of the date they
were raised. I would like the date in the templates to keep updating
to current but not the dates in the 'saved as' documents. I have
templates set up for invoicing and I'm not having this problem with
them. I know I've done something stupid but I don't know what. Any
solutions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
