I don't use Word all that much and this may be a basic question.

If there a way that I can insert a date in a Word document so that
everytime it opens it will automatically show todays date rather than
having to update the date manually.

Excel has an =Today function that does this, and I wonder does Word
have an equivalent command.

I'm using Word 2000

You can insert a Create Date field to accomplish this.
