Date change

When I call up an old letter using "Write" in Windows XP. It always changes the date on the letter to the current date. Is there some way to prevent "Write" from doing this?
I can afford anything that I want.
Just so long as I don't want much.

    What is this "write" first?

    I'm assuming it's some sort of add-on or seperate word processing program that can run in Windows XP.

    How do you mean the date on the letter aswell, is there a typed date that was entered into a letter than the date is modified automatically (mail-merge possibly), or the date modified date is changed?

    Could you take some form of screenshot for further info. Is there any options within the Write program?

  • sounds like its a auto added date, word does this sometimes and there is tick box in the options to turn it off.
  • You need to untick the update automatically box

    Sorry if I confused anyone. I meant Windows Word.
