how do I stop date from updating when looking at old letters?
Every time I open an old letter, it opens and has today's date on it. I have
already taken out the update automatically selection on my macro. I want to see when the letter was originally sent and do not want today's date to appear. How do I do this...thanks! |

Alt+F9 to view the field code, then edit it to change DATE to CREATEDATE.
Alt+F9 to toggle back and then F9 to update the field. Then use a CreateDate field in your template. If by "macro" you're referring to the Insert | Date command, note that changing the setting now has no effect on dates inserted previously. Moreover, if you use the Alt+Shift+D keyboard shortcut or the Insert Date button on the Header & Footer toolbar, a DATE field will always be inserted. -- Suzanne S.
