Since all Word versions are the same in this regard, the only way you wouldn't have had an issue in Word 2003 is if you either didn't use a DATE field or, if you did, you unlinked or locked it at some stage. Fields can be locked via Ctrl-F11 and unlinked via Ctrl-Shift-F9.

When I'm writing legal documents that have to be printed off weeks after the letter was completed, I need to know what date I finished the letter (this was the last time I opened it) & re-print.

Word doesn't have a field that tracks when you last opened a document. The nearest you can get is via the SAVEDATE field, which will record when the document was last edited. Unfortunately, updating that field to reflect the last-saved date date counts as a new edit, which will cause problems if you then save the document and something causes that field to update at a later date.
