Do I use "Created on" in Auto Text for a document I created but have had one
or two revisions in the last couple of days and use "revised on" for
documents that have been previously created by someone else but I am revising
the form?
 
You use them on documents where you want to used them. Created on will show
the date the file was created on your computer. If you save a file you
receive from someone else on your computer I'm not sure what will happen to
that date. You can test it.

Revised on shows the date changes were last saved in the document. Note that
changes can be very minor things that don't change your text at all.

See http://addbalance.com/word/datefields1.htm for information on the
different kinds of datefields and how to format them.
