Date changing to current date when doc reopened
When I draft a letter and save it and then reopen it later, the date always
changes to the current date, even when I do not use the auto insert date. i erase the date and put it in manually but it still happens. -- Michele |

Michelle,
sounds like you used teh insert date feature of Word. This inserts a current field, which will update every time opened. Try replacing the current date field with teh Create date field.

Note that the field that you need is CREATEDATE

The reason is that you have inserted a date field which shows the system
date. What you need to do is change those date fields for createdate fields - ALT+F9 change { DATE } or { TIME \@ "d MMM yyyy" } to { CREATEDATE \@ "d MMM yyyy" } then F9 and ALT+F9 - and change the date in your letterhead template so that future letters based on it show the correct dates. The formatting switch \@ "d MMM yyyy" may be different at your location.
