Use Alt+F9 to toggle the display of the field codes and change the type of field to { CREATEDATE }. It will then display the date upon which the document was created. If you put such a field in the template from which you are creating the documents, and you use File>New and select the template as the basis of the document that you want to create, the field will display the date upon which you create the new document. -- Hope this helps.
