original date doc written when date was on "update Automatically"   

in 2002, using Office Word 97, a letter was written in word with date to be 
updated automatically; I now need to know what date was it written? It only 
shows today's date. Please help?

RE: original date doc written when date was on "update Automatically"   

hi. could you tell me how you created the doc to automatically update the 
date? i don't mean the autofill, but so that the doc updates the date on its 
own. thanks.
