Word forms
I have entered text form field in a Word form (template
file). On properties I made the type current date, but everytime you print or print preview the doc, the date updates to the current date. I would like the date to only update to the current upon creation of a doc file from the template. |

Word forms
Then, instead of a form field, use a regular CreateDate field in your
template. It will update upon creation. See URL: http://addbalance.com/word/datefields1.htm for information on the different kinds of datefields and how to format them. For more about online forms, follow the links at http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm especially Dian Chapman's series of articles.
