How do I handle memo templates so that the date is not automatically changed to the current date when I re-open the memo? In the template, right-click the date (which is a field) and select Toggle Field Codes. You'll see either DATE or TIME plus some formatting codes inside a pair of curly braces, like {DATE \@"MMMM dd, yyyy" \*MERGEFORMAT} Change the DATE or TIME keyword to CREATEDATE. Right-click again and select Update Field. You'll see the date the template was created. When you use File New to create a document based on the template, the same fields will show the date the document (not the template) is created. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |
