Default Auto Change Date in Word Document???

I have made a few forms in word that we use over and over. How do I get the "date" to change to today's date, each time I open the form?

On my excel forms, the date auto changes to today's. But, how do I get my word document to change?

Thanks to everyone.

Hi dssxxx,

You can use a DATE field, a CREATEDATE field, a PRINTDATE field or a SAVEDATE field, all of which work a bit differently. You can insert any of these via Insert|Quick Parts|Field.

Paul,

Sorry for the late response.

I got your answer in my email and immediately spent the next few hours changing my documents over to your suggestion.

It worked like a charm and I cannot thank you enough.

I try and read for my answers and most of the time find them....this one I did not but Paul came though.

Again, thank you very much.
