Save the original date document is created

[Guest]

When creating documents in Word how do you save the original date a document
is created. It automatically changes the date to the current date you go
back into the file.

Right-click the date and click "Toggle field codes". Add the word "CREATE"
before the word "DATE" (should read CREATEDATE), right-click and select
"Toggle field codes" again. Should be fine now.

FWIW, if you click "Insert", "Date and time", this is the one that changes.
If you click "Insert", "Field", there you can select a variety of different
date type fields.
