When I open a word document a day or more later the original date has
changed to the date when I open it.
How can I stop this?

Click to expand...

Open the date and time dialogue box (from the Insert menu) and unselect the
'Update automatically' check box.

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.
