[mso] Date field in Word 2000

Hi again.  Next request for help/advice coming up.

Back in the dim and distant early 90s, those heady days of WordPerfect for DOS, 
I had a nice little macro written that would bring up my letter template 
including the correct date as a fixed date.  

In Word, my date field options are to have an automatically updating field (so 
that whenever I reopen an old saved file it shows me "today's" date rather than 
the date the file was saved) or enter the date on the basis of "insert>date and 
time>[click on date format] and uncheck *update automatically*.  That's very 
cumbersome - I would like the option to embed a suitable macro in my template 
but have been scared to investigate macros in Word!

Anybody out there willing to guide me through the maze?

Thanks

Anne
