The date is a Word field, probably TIME or DATE. Change it to CREATEDATE.
You can see all the field codes by pressing Alt-F9. Make the change, press
Alt-F9 again and then F9 to update the field. Use a template with the
CREATEDATE field already in place to create your new documents. Don't use
Insert => Date menu commands.
Hope this helps,

Whenever I open a saved word doc the date on it changes automatically to
the date that I open it on. This could be a problem if I need the original
date which the doc was completed (saved). Any ideas how to stop this from
happening?
