I want to insert the date without changing previous dates

At the moment, when I insert today's date in a day-by-day diary, Word changes
all the previously-inserted dates and gives them all today's date.

The only way that would happen is if you have inserted date fields, which
report the system date of the computer. You need to insert the date as text.
There is an option to do that in the insert date dialog, or you could create
a macro to insert the date as text in any format you wish.
e.g.
Sub InsertUKFormatDate()
With Selection
.InsertDateTime DateTimeFormat:="d" & Chr(160) & _
"MMMM" & Chr(160) & "yyyy", InsertAsField:=False
End With
End Sub

OR

Sub InsertUSFormatDate()
With Selection
.InsertDateTime DateTimeFormat:="MMMM" & Chr(160) & _
"d," & Chr(160) & "yyyy", InsertAsField:=False
End With
End Sub

There will be no record in the document that will allow the date fields to
be turned back to fixed dates. You will have to edit them manually.
