Is there an easy way to convert my existing doc to a template?
-
File Save As...
Change the file type to document template.
-
Also, will the template document behave the same as the merge doc.
We
are running a pretty extensive macro to merge fields.
-
Yes, and no. To use your template, create a new document based on the
template. File New...
Then it should merge the same way your current document does.

Thanks again.

If you instead use a template and create a new document based on the
template, the CreateDate field will work fine for you. For more on
the
different kinds of templates, tabs on the file new dialog, and
locations of
templates folders see

I am trying insert a date field that will update once only and then
convert to a non updatable text field. This is a merge document.
There is a "date of notice" that needs to be inserted and then remain
the same no matter how many times the document is subsequently
opened.
I've tried inserting a CREATEDATE field, however, this prints the
date
the original document was created, not the date the merged document
was
created.
Thank you.
