    Microsoft Word Date
    « on: May 14, 2010, 10:49:52 AM »
    I have MS Word 2007. The date on documents that I have stored changes to the current date when I open them and will not allow me to save it with the created date. Is this an autoformatting issue? How do I disable it?

    Do you mean the date of the file or dates within the document itself?
    I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

        No, I meant the date.  Where do you go in Word to see it? I have Word 2007 but I'm not sure what you're talking about.

          Oh, it is a letter and the date is the first line of the document below the header.

          I think this reference from Indiana University might help: In Microsoft Word, how do I put a date on my document?

            Thanks Soybean,
            The documents that I use need to have the original dates and using the static method on the UI site allows me to make the change once and it will remain that way.
