I have word documents from weeks ago and when I go back into them the date
automatically changes and I no longer know the original date that they were
typed.
Any help?

Press Alt+F9 to display the field code. Edit DATE to read CREATEDATE. Press
Alt+F9 again to toggle back and F9 to update. Better yet, change the field
in the template on which the documents are based.

This is probably because the older documents were created using the "Date"
field versus the "CreateDate" field.

If you look in the Insert / Quick Parts / Field area, you'll see the
description for both fields. "Date" will always fill in the current date
when you open the file and "CreateDate" will retain the date the document
was created.
