Yes, that would of course be possible. To get the date format you want, you
could record a macro when inserting the field manually. Then attach the
resulting macro to a toolbar button (Word 97-2003) or to the Quick Access
Toolbar (Word 2007).

Thank you for the clarification.

I suppose another way would be to create a macro that inserts the
CreateDate
field. Y/N?

[Woody]

Thank you. That was very helpful.

One other question please. I have been reading this message directly from
your web site. But I want to switch to a news reader (Outlook Express).
However, in msnews.microsoft.com , I do not see this forum listed. I would
have guessed the account would have been something like
Microsoft.public.word.general, but I don't see anything like that.

Its real name is microsoft.public.word.docmanagement.

You can also save the appropriate CREATEDATE field as an AutoText entry and
assign it to a toolbar button or keyboard shortcut.
