Hi Neil
In the saved letter amend the date manually to the date of the leter. The insert date field in word always updates letters to today's date, so the best option is to inert the date by typing it in rather than through the menu options. Hope this helps, please let me know. Jonty "neil thornton" wrote: every time i open a saved letter the date automatically changes to today's date. Is there a way I can stop this happening? |

Alternatively, you can replace the automatically updating DATE or TIME
field with a CREATEDATE field, which displays the creation date (and/or time) of the file: Press ALT+F9 to display field codes. You'll see something like: { DATE \@ "MM/dd/yy" }. Change the uppercase part to CREATEDATE, press F9 to update field display, and then press ALT+F9 again to hide field codes. Save the file. Note that this modification must be done for each existing document. For the purpose of future documents, however, you can place the CREATEDATE field in a template, and you'll get the correct creation date in documents created from that template. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Jonty" wrote in message ...
