Re: How do I keep the date from updating itself in Word?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

The date in question is a DATE or TIME field. Press Alt+F9 to display the
field code and change it to CREATEDATE. Alt+F9 to toggle back to field
results and F9 to update. Note that the "Update automatically" setting
affects only dates that you insert using that dialog, not existing fields in
the document. And if you use the Insert Date button on the Header and Footer
toolbar or the Alt+Shift+D shortcut, you will get a DATE field.
