Re: Word changing dates in documents

Apparently when the document was created the creator clicked
Insert, Date and Time in Word. In the same window as the
format of the date is a check box which causes the field to
update to the current date automatically. If this was set
when the document was created, it will continue to update
automatically each time the document is opened. It will do
no good to turn it off now. You would have to delete the
date field and then reinsert the correct date in the space
created.

The suggestion from Og may work but I have a distinct
problem with this since I have documents on my system that
have a modified date older than a create date. The modified
date is July 20, 2005 while the create date is December 19,
2005 as shown in Properties/General tab in Word.

Office 2003 Professional. I just started reading some
old journal pages I wrote in May of 2002. When I glanced
up to see when these entries were made, instead of the
date of the entry, all three entries were today's date!
How do I keep Word from changing dates in documents that
need to have the original dates?
