Default date in Text form field
That did the trick. Thanks.

The current date is always the current date, but if you want to edit the
field, you will need instead an on-entry macro to fill the date eg assuming
the text field is bookmarked "Date1", the following will insert the current
date in that field when you tab into it, in the format of the switch - here
"dd\MM\yyyy"
Sub SetDate()
Dim sDate As Date
sDate = Format((Now), "dd/MM/yyyy")
ActiveDocument.FormFields("Date1").Result = sDate
End Sub

I tried that, but then the field can no longer be edited (Fill-in
enable is grayed out). I need to allow this field to be changed if
necessary ... just want it to default to the current date.

Set the field type property to current date rather than date?
