Ahhh - but here's the difference between Microsoft's view of the world and the world as it really is.
It's *vital*, if you're one of those people who has time to set up templates, to set them up in such a way as the date is inserted as a fixed-value chunk of text when you first create the letter, it must never again change unless you choose to change it.
Something else those of us who run real companies know which people who write Office applications often miss is - when you create a billing database, say, you MUST hold an invoice address as a variable within each invoice, you must NOT just fill in the field on the invoice from the customer master file each time you view the invoice. Because when the client moves to a new office, you need the database to still show his *old* address on any invoices raised whilst he was *at* that address.
