Toggle field codes.
I have the field code for the date in my letters, but this has the annoying
habit of updating the date automatically, so that if I go to some old letter todays date is entered. How can I format the field code so that a date change can be only at my action? Please help, Frank |

If you put the CreateDate field into the document, it will always remain the CreateDate. If you use the CreateDate field in a Template, the date displayed is always the date you created the document from the template. -- Terry Farrell - Word MVP http://word.mvps.org/ "Frank Martin" wrote in message ... :I have the field code for the date in my letters, but this has the annoying : habit of updating the date automatically, so that if I go to some old letter : todays date is entered. : : How can I format the field code so that a date change can be only at my : action? : : Please help, Frank : : |

I did figure this out. The 'insert' menu has a 'add date & time' which
inserts a "date....." field giving the problem I mention, but I have altered all these now. I am making a macro to insert the "CreateDate" in future.
