How can I stop the automatic change to current date when I upload past
letters and other docs? I am frustrated when I want a copy of a past
document and it changes to the day's date when I open it.
Thanks!
 
That date is generated by a DATE field. You need to change it to a
CREATEDATE field. Select the field, right click, toggle field code, change
DATE to CREATEDATE, update the field, and toggle the code.

Insert>Date and Time and uncheck "Update Automatically" this will insert all
future date/time entries using this method to an unlinked field.

In your template if you have a {DATE} field, change it to {CREATEDATE} to
future letters created from that template will retain the original creation
date.
