Using Word - create a letter from Letter Wizzard. Every time I reopen the
letter - to reprint - the date updates to the present day. Do not wnat the date to change. |

Right click on the date and toggle the field code.

You are using a DATE or TIME field rather than a CREATEDATE field. This
field should be put in the original template if possible. In the document in question, press Alt-F9 to display field codes. Then change the field to a CREATEDATE field, press F9 and then Alt-F9. See http://addbalance.com/word/datefields1.htm for information on the different kinds of datefields and how to format them. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
