MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / June 2004dates
hi everyone, just a quick one, I have a mail merge from an excel file, but i want the new letters to have the date they were created on them. I have tried using createdate field from the insert menu, but this just uses the date that the template was created from. can anyone help? Merge to a new document. The new document will display the date *it* was created, regardless of what the template displays.

Yes, that's what I tried before but it still comes up with the "original.doc" createdate. I hope I didn't confused you, the original file is a ".doc" file, not ".dot" template, does this make a difference? >-----Original Message----- >Merge to a new document.

Use File > New to create a new document and perform your merge from there.
