Please advise how to maintain the date in a word document. I would like it to
remain the same.

Thanks,
 
Right click the date field toggle the display - change it from a DATE (or
TIME) field to a CREATEDATE field. F9 to update then toggle back again (if
the update didn't toggle it).

You are using a DATE or TIME field rather than a CREATEDATE field. This
field should be put in the original template if possible (instead of
inserting using the keyboard shortcut or header/footer toolbar button).
Never use Insert > Date from the menus!

In the document in question, press Alt-F9 to display field codes. Then
change the field to a CREATEDATE field, press F9 and then Alt-F9.

See http://addbalance.com/word/datefields1.htm for information on the
different kinds of datefields and how to format them.
