Table date field

If I insert a date field in a table cell, today's date is displayed. When I
save this file and if I open it tomorrow, the date field will update to
tomorrows date. Is there any way to retain the original date?
TIA
 
You are using a DATE or TIME field rather than a CREATEDATE field. This
field should be put in the original template if possible.

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.

Toggle field coded (ALT+F9). Change { DATE } to {CREATEDATE} don't mess
with the { } if you do and accidently delete them then reinsert with
CTRL+F9. Toggle fields again.
