Word 2007 "Modified" date doesnt change.

[KarenNYC]

Word 2007....modified date doesnt change. It is my resume. I had a service
type it in Word 2003. I have 2007 on my computer. I just noticed that the
modified date has never changed - still says Jan 10.

Any idea how to fix this. Right now I have to rename the files each time.
Its such a nuisance.

What exactly are you trying to achieve here?
Why do you need to rename the files 'each time'? Each time you do what?

I believe Karen means she needs to rename the file (or Save As) in order to
get the modified date to change. Presumably the modified date won't change
if the file hasn't been modified. Perhaps Karen needs to change the SAVEDATE
field to PRINTDATE or some other that would work better if she's not
actually making changes?

Actually when I do a "save as" the modified date DOESNT change. so I
actually have to RENAME the file to know which is the most current version.

And the problem is apparently not just in WORD.....

How do I change the PRINTDATE field....I'd be willing to live with that
until I find a solution to my original problem.

Thanks

Alt+F9 to display the field. If you don't see a field code, then it isn't a
field, and that's the problem. Or it could be that the field is locked, so
you could try Ctrl+Shift+F11 to unlock it. If that doesn't work, then just
edit SAVEDATE to be PRINTDATE.

A-a-r-r-g-g-h-h! DO I FEEL STUPID. Can you say STUPID. CAN YOU SAY IDIOT.
I decided to check the date on the lower-right-corner. Some how it got
changed to JANUARY. I changed it to TODAY (DUH!) and everything seems to be
ok.

I feel S-t-u-p-i-d. "Sir my computer isnt working". "Madam, is it plugged
in?" This was almost that bad.

Thanks you all. Appreciate your help.

Rather along the lines of the support call when the user was asked if the
computer was plugged in and reported back that it was difficult to see
behind the desk as there was a power outage!
