Default CREATEDATE in TEMPLATE

A template should be saved in the user or workgroup template folder. New
documents should be created from the template and they will be saved in the
document folder. I cannot see how you would get both in the same folder if
used properly.

I queried the newsgroup about how to get my date to change
to the current day's date and was told to use CREATEDATE
in the template. It works great!!! Now, I have another
question. I notice that when I use the template I have to
first save it to a directory/subdirectory AND THEN do the
mail merge in order for the date to be created properly.
It works great, but now I have two "documents" in the
directory, the template and the doc version. In order to
not confuse myself (or others) when they look in the
directory, I have to go back into the directory and delete
the template. I wonder if there is another way to go
about this?
