Update dates using CreateDate or Date field
Using Word 2007 and I have a template I created with a CreateDate field.
When I create a new doc it gives me the current date which is good. I save the doc and later I would like to be able to open the DOC and make a small change to the document and then save it with a different name. I woudl also like the date to be current on this new revision of the old doc. Even if I right-click the field the update button doesnt change the date. Any suggestions? |

Update dates using CreateDate or Date field
If you use Save As, you should be getting a new creation date, so it should
be possible to update the CreateDate field using F9 (unless it's locked or has been converted to text). -- Suzanne S.
