insert date automatically changes previous dates to new date?

[Guest]

i am keeping a journal and i use insert autodate to put in date. now whenever
i autoinsert date, it changes all of the previous autodates in that document
to the new date, how do i change this so that the insert autodate does not
effect previous dates.

On the Insert | Date and Time dialogue box, uncheck Update automatically.

Unfortunately, it is not the insertion of the new date that is the problem.
It was your insertion of date fields, period. You used a DATE field which is
automatically today's date, whatever today is. It updates. Many things can
trigger such updating. You need to simply type in the date or create a macro
that actually inserts the date as text.
