Unfortunately, it is not the insertion of the new date that is the problem.
It was your insertion of date fields, period. You used a DATE field which is
automatically today's date, whatever today is. It updates. Many things can
trigger such updating. You need to simply type in the date or create a macro
that actually inserts the date as text.

i am keeping a journal and i use insert autodate to put in date. now
whenever
i autoinsert date, it changes all of the previous autodates in that
document
to the new date, how do i change this so that the insert autodate does not
effect previous dates.
