MS Office 2000, specifically in Word.
I compose a dated letter or memo letter.  If I open it again say a week
later, the date changes to the current date.  This makes it difficult to
print all these at a later time, but still have the date on which they were
sent or posted.
Is there a setting that I can change that will force any document created to
retain the original date ( typed within the body obviously) inserted?

Thanks
Brandon

Right-click the date and select Edit Field. Change the field type from
DATE to CREATEDATE.

Make the same change in the template you use for these letters, so
that future letters will already have the correct field.
