Hi amandarox, Assuming your invoices are Word files, select the 'date' and press Shift-F9. This will expose the field code, which will look something like { DATE }. Simply change 'DATE' to 'SAVEDATE', press F9 to update the field, then Ctrl-F11 to lock it (Ctrl-Shift-F11 unlocks it again) or Ctrl-Shift-F9 to permanently change it to plain text. For the future, you could lock or convert the date fields on the date the invoice is finalised. Note: if the invoices are always finalised on the day they're created, you could modify the invoice template to use a SAVEDATE field instead of the DATE field. And, even if the invoices are not always finalised on the day they're created, you could still use a SAVEDATE field combined with re-saving the invoice using File|Save As on the finalisation date. Using a SAVEDATE field this way avoids the need to remember to lock or convert the date fields. -- Cheers macropod [Microsoft MVP - Word] "amandarox" <amandarox(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:3F5866CE-F36B-42A2-A772-739C83BBE4BF(a)microsoft.com... >I have invoices saved marked as final , and when I try to print with original > date created, it changes date to the day it is opened...? |
