Why does date changes every time I view doccument

and this big space if for your question -

The reason is that you have inserted a date field which shows the system
date. What you need to do is change those date fields for createdate
fields - ALT+F9 change {DATE \@ "d MMM yyyy"}or {TIME \@ "d MMM yyyy"} to
{CREATEDATE \@ "d MMM yyyy"} then F9 and ALT+F9 - and change the date in
your letterhead template so that future letters based on it show the correct
dates. The switches \@ "d MMM yyyy" may be different at your location.

It shouldn't, unless you're viewing it on different dates. Today it should
always be today's date. In fact, "viewing" a document with anything BUT
Word, should NOT change the date. Hmmmm?
