Prevent a date from changing automatically. <Top of Page>

Notes:
When you insert a date into a document, it isn't always obvious whether the date is an explicit, non-changing date or, rather, the result of a "field." A field is a command embedded into a document that tells Word to calculate something. In the case of a date field, the field tells Word to calculate the date and insert the result into the document.

When you use the DateAndTime command on the Insert menu, you'll see a checkbox called "Update Automatically." This checkbox tells Word whether to insert an explicit, non-changing date or a date field. If you place a check in the checkbox, Word inserts a field. Every time you open the document, Word updates the field to show the current date. If you clear this checkbox, Word inserts an explicit, non-changing date.

Solution #1:
Unlink the date field and return it to normal text by selecting it and pressing Ctrl+Shift+F9.

Solution #2:
1. Right-click the date and select Toggle Field Codes. This will display something like the following:
{ TIME \@ DD/MM/YY }
2. While this code is displayed, double-click the word TIME and replace it with CREATEDATE. Make sure createdate is all one word. Your code should look as follows:
{ CREATEDATE \@ DD/MM/YY }
3. Now right-click the date and select Toggle Field Codes again.
4. Finally, right-click the date and select Update Field.
