How do I stop auto update of date/time

Hi,
I'm starting to despair, a while ago I stupidly clicked on auto update/time on a letter I was working on, it seemed like a good idea at the time. But now whenever I open any letter the date is automatically updated which is a major problem as I am losing the references to when I actually wrote and therefore sent these letters. I'm too scared to open letters now because I'll lose this important piece of information.
Any help appreciated!
Thanks
Nathalie

Next time, don't use the Pages 's insert date_time feature.
Use the one delivered in the free WordService from Devon Technologies.
It always inserts a fixed date_time.
But I have wondering about your problem.
The Pages User Guide states:
• To add and format the date and time, place the insertion point where you want the value to appear, and then choose Insert > Date & Time.
To change the date and time format, Control-click the date and time value, choose Edit Date & Time, and then choose a date and time format from the pop-up menu. *If you want the document to always show the current date and time, select “Automatically update on open.”*
Which, if I understand well means that the default setting is that the inserted date_time is a frozen (fixed) one.

  • TS3147 How do I stop auto updates for an HP printer I no longer have?

    I keep getting auto update notices for a printer I have discarded.  How do I stop this?  Within the last year my "HP" printer quit and I replaced it with a "Brother" printer.  It is annoying to keep getting the HP irrelevant update notifications.  I removed the HP printer info in the application folder on my hard drive, but that did not help.

    I use Find File myself.  I think it has been discontinued.

    You can try pausing the download by tapping on the Pages icon, but you may not be able to use Pages until the update completes. I don't know that for sure, but I wouldn't want to take the chance on corrupting the app and maybe the files.

  • How do you stop auto play only go to next slide on click once published Version 7

    How do you stop auto play only go to next slide on click once published Version 7? I mean to stop the play slide bar moving down the bottom?

    Thank you, I already have click boxes and buttons on every slide - the slider at the bottom still automatically moves, it doesn't go to next slide until button or box is clicked. I want to stop it moving if possible?
    Update: looks like it does the same on the old versions - I'm assuming its the time set to play each slide. I will just even these up so the don't look so inconsistent.

    To the best of my knowledge, there is no way to prevent the automatic downloading of the SD version when you buy an HD show.
    You can, if you wish, suggest that the ability to prevent the SD version from downloading through the iTunes feedback page. But since the SD version is needed for use on iPods and there at least at present is no mechanism for someone to download the SD version at a later time should they decide they need it, Apple may just continue to force the downloading of both versions. If they get enough feedback on the issue, though, they may figure something out.
    Regards.

    How can I stop auto deletion of messages from my inbox?
    I've tried to fix this by changing the IMAP account's Junk settings so that they are moved either to the
    "Junk" folder on 'account name'
    or
    Other: (drop down list for choosing accounts and one of its folders) Junk on 'account name'
    I am sure I lost all of my important, not junk mail, amazon.com messages as well as other messages from comercial sites.
    Secondly: Please tell me what the difference is between the 2 junk folder choices above.
    Thank you,

  • How do I stop the update banner from annoying me every few minutes?

    How do I stop the Updates Available banner from annoying me every few minutes? I have tried to deselect the "Automatically check for updates" box in System Preferences==>Software Update, but it doesn't help.

    I prefer to manually check for updates when convenient and install only those that I wish to install at a time of my choosing. Surely Apple wouldn't be so heavy-handed as to make this impossible?

    You can run a hard-reboot by holding the home and lock button for about 10 seconds. You should research a little bit more about what this does if you plan to do this.
