Hi again!
Yes, I tried that approach. I am available to add the custom field in the template but it shows as a placeholder when I print the document. The idea is that the placeholder gets replaced automatically with the date when the document was created. Right now I have to manually select the date.
This is the content type settings right now with the two columns added to it:
Content type settings
This is the resulting word document with the placeholder empty:
Document
And this is the template open in Word with the field in place:
Template
Something else I can do?
Regards
Americo

Sorry, can't help with the Word issue but I hope Content Types got you closer to your desired result. Your remaining issue is not SharePoint related.
