How do I lock a date cell?
I am using a fax template. I want to save a fax that I am sending out today,
but when I open it, the date changes to the current date. How do I lock that date cell so I can tell when my fax was originally sent? |

How do I lock that date cell so I can tell when my fax was originally sent? Open the template itself (using the File Open dialog). Right-click the date and choose Toggle Field Codes. You'll see something like {DATE}, maybe with some more stuff inside the braces. Click just before the D and make it say CREATEDATE. Then press F9 and save/close the template. Now when you create a fax document based on the template, the field will always show the date you created that document (not the template) and it won't change. You can go into existing fax documents and do the same thing, and you'll see the document's creation date. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
