In bit.mailserv.word-pc you write:

Ah, ha!  That must be the problem.  I was using a document, not a
template.

I received a message from Microsoft about this (they must be monitoring
this forum), and they said that you can update date fields in a document
by highlighting the field with the mouse, then pressing F9.  They guy
didn't mention anything about templates, though.  I guess he just
didn't pick up on that.

Thanks.
