When you insert a date/time stamp the way you have been doing, Word inserts DATE and TIME fields. These are volatile and are quite liable to update to the current date and time - which is what they are designed to do. Frankly, I'm surprised you've gotten away with this for so long. You can modify Word's field update behaviour somewhat (e.g. allowing them to update/not update at print time), but I'm not aware of any setting to prevent DATE and TIME fields updating when a document is opened. The only other course of action would be to lock them or convert them to text upon insertion. If you have a backup of the document, you might try opening that in WordPad, which should result in the document still showing whatever dates & times you previously had. You could then copy content from the WordPad session and paste it into your current document. Doing so will replace the fields with their displayed values.



As for your technical problem, users can only list a single profile. Fortunately, most problems are not version-specific (unless you're switching between Macs & PCs), so I'd suggest picking whichever combination best represents your typical setup. You can edit your profile at any time - you could also make special mention of the version if you think a problem might be version-specific.
