How do I change the date in MSWORD 2003?

June 18, 2007 11:20 AM

I am typing up reports in MSWORD 2003 and need to have it show a future date instead of todays. When I go to print the file it shows the current date no matter what I do. Any changes just revert back to todays. Is there a way to correct this? Surely this is possible?

Best answer: Does the background of the text change to grey when you edit it? If so, it's actually an auto-updating field, and I don't even know why they let you change it because as you found, it doesn't "stick". You have to delete the whole field and start from scratch if you don't want it to reset back to the current date.

The lo-tech fix is to change the date on your computer.
