Word 2003...there is no check box for that function when they select
"Field" to insert the date and I cannot guarantee that they will
always use "Date and Time" over "Field"....these are programmers.
Also, they might be using their own template and I need a way to
freeze the date if they've already inserted it.
Back to my question...will CTRL F11 freeze the date?
