the date comes up as today's in saved documents-why??

[Guest]

I have several word invoices saved, but when I come to print them out, the
date has changed to today's which is totally useless. How do I get it to stay
as the onvoice date? Even when I try to change the date to the previous one
and then print it, it changes back before I print. Very frustrated!!

Here is a reference to ¨How do I insert a date?¨ that should help:

Hope this helps

The reason is that you have inserted a date field which shows the system
date. What you need to do is change those date fields for createdate
fields - ALT+F9 change {DATE \@ "d MMM yyyy"}or {TIME \@ "d MMM yyyy"} to
{CREATEDATE \@ "d MMM yyyy"} then F9 and ALT+F9 - and change the date in
your letterhead template so that future letters based on it show the correct
dates. The switches \@ "d MMM yyyy" may be different at your location.
