Use Alt+F9 to toggle the display of the field codes and change the type of
field to { CREATEDATE }. It will then display the date upon which the
document was created. If you put such a field in the template from which
you are creating the documents, and you use File>New and select the template
as the basis of the document that you want to create, the field will display
the date upon which you create the new document.
