From: attemom on
I'd like to know how to change the date option in Word. When I insert the
date in an invoice or letter, the next time I open it Word changes the date
to the current date. I want it to keep the original date. I know there is
some option I need to change but I can't seem to find it.

I'm using Word 7.
From: Suzanne S. Barnhill on
Press Alt+F9 to display the DATE field. Edit it to say CREATEDATE, then
Alt+F9 to toggle back and F9 (if necessary) to update the field. Better
still, change the field in the template you are using to create the invoice
or letter.
