still auto-date problem
This is the second time I write, I have not gotten useful answars to my first
Q. I'm using Word 2007. I've set up some templates which I use to write business letters. One of the features I'm using is 'current date' because I like not having to type that in on every quote. If I change "todays date" to createdate in the template, it will not be todays date when I open the template tomorrow. Can I somehow have a template that updates the date to today, and when I save it as a domument, it does not update the date, but save it as create date? Thanks MAndersen, DK |

The CREATEDATE field will always show the creation date of the file in which
it is located; in the template it shows the creation date of the template, and in a document created from the template it shows the creation date of the document. Note that you may have to update the field manually with F9. This will be especially apparent if you are using Save As to create new documents from old ones. Alternatively, you could keep using the DATE field, and just unlink it (press Ctrl+Shift+F9) when you want to "freeze" the date. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "MAndersen" wrote in message ...

You don't 'open'the template tomorrow - you create a new document from it
and that new document will have its current date. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org MAndersen wrote: This is the second time I write, I have not gotten useful answars to my first Q.
