Letter template date

T

Terri

I have a letter template with the date as part of the template. When I save
the letter and then open it up the next day, I do not want the date on the
saved letter to automatically update to the new current date. How can I do
this?

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.
