Use Alt+F9 to toggle the display of the field codes and change the type of
field to { CREATEDATE }. It will then display the date upon which the
document was created. If you put such a field in the template from which
you are creating the documents, and you use FileNew and select the template
as the basis of the document that you want to create, the field will display
the date upon which you create the new document.

Hope this helps.
