I would like to insert todays date automatically when I open a template.
This is not a problem since I select insert date and tick automatically
update.

However, I would like to save the document with today's date so that when I
open it tomorrow or next week I still have today's date. How can I do this?

Thanks, Ming

Click to expand...

Then -- don't tick "automatically update"! :-)

If you don't, then Word inserts normal text.

If that's not what you want, then use a different field (SAVEDATE,
PRINTDATE, CREATEDATE ---> look those up in Word's offline help).
