Default Automatic Date in Word Document

As Doug implies, this is not possible, however what you could do is save the
document as a template and create a new document at the time you send the
attachment. A createdate field in that template will thus reflect in the new
document the date that the document was sent. Otherwise you would have to
open the document, manually or with a macro, and change the date in the
document at the time of sending.

I need to create a document that I will be sent as an attachment to

document was sent. I do want to open the document itself. How do I do
this? Thank you.
