I'm on Word for Mac 2004. I have a CREATEDATE field that refuses to update
unless you right-click on it and select "Update Field," even if you do a
"Save As" under another name. I've tried just deleting the field and
reinserting it, but to no avail. I've tested the field several ways: By
manually changing my system date and doing a "Save As," and then simply doing
a "Save As" on two different workdays. I've tried using CREATEDATE both with
and without the MERGEFORMAT switch, and by saving the document as a template
and by saving it just as a document, and in both cases with the form
protected and then unprotected. Same result every time: the field updates if
you trigger it manually, but it won't trip in any other way.
Any ideas about this one, anyone? Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
It's driving me to drink.
