word 2007 date updating?
I have saved some files in word 2007 but each day I go to look at the file
the date is changing each day. How do I make sure that the saved file keeps the same date as my files need to be dated when created.. |

Not strictly a Word problem - assuming you are using Vista, add the Date Created Column to Windows Explorer... -- Asking a question? Please tell us the version of the application you are asking about, your OS, Service Pack level and the FULL contents of any error message(s) |

word 2007 date updating?
It's not clear but are you referring to a date in the document itself? In
which case, you have inserted the date as a field which will update automatically when you open the documents. The alternatives are many, but you can insert the CreateDate field (which obviously never updates in a document or it would be a CreateDate). You can LOCK the field using the LockFields command (Ctrl+F11) or you can UNLINK the field (Ctrl+Shift+F9) - which turns the field into plain text. The difference is that Unlinking is irreversable, whereas Lock can be Unlocked (Ctrl+Shift+F11) -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "kevinashby" wrote in message ...
