When I open a saved Word document i.e. a letter, the original date the
document was created is replacd by today's date.
How do I change this so that it is opened with the date the document was
created

Right-click the date and select Toggle Field Codes. In the field code you'll
see the keyword -- either DATE or TIME -- plus some formatting information.
Change the keyword to CREATEDATE. Right-click and select Update Field.
