word keeps changing old date to current date on old documents
Press Alt+F9 to display the field code. Edit DATE to read CREATEDATE. Press
Alt+F9 again to toggle back and F9 to update. Better yet, change the field in the template on which the documents are based. -- Suzanne S.

This is probably because the older documents were created using the "Date"
field versus the "CreateDate" field. If you look in the Insert / Quick Parts / Field area, you'll see the description for both fields. "Date" will always fill in the current date when you open the file and "CreateDate" will retain the date the document was created.
