Default Toggle field codes.

I have the field code for the date in my letters, but this has the annoying
habit of updating the date automatically, so that if I go to some old letter
todays date is entered.

How can I format the field code so that a date change can be only at my
action?

Please help, Frank

If you put the CreateDate field into the document, it will always remain the
CreateDate. If you use the CreateDate field in a Template, the date
displayed is always the date you created the document from the template.

I did figure this out. The 'insert' menu has a 'add date & time' which
inserts a "date....." field giving the problem I mention, but I have altered
all these now.
I am making a macro to insert the "CreateDate" in future.
Thanks
