Replace the DATE field, which updates to show the current system date, with
a CREATEDATE field, which shows the date the document was created: Press
Alt+F9. You'll see a field code similar to this: { DATE \@ "M/d/yy" }.
Change the DATE part to CREATEDATE. Press F9 to update. Press Alt+F9 to hide
the field codes again.
