When I last used it, the "Date (Fixed)" inserted the date on the day its set 
up and does not update the date. If you select "Date" it changes the date 
everytime the document is opened, also changes it when person recieving the 
document recieves it, I'm told. 

I send out a newletter each month and the date is changed each time I update 
it before I send it and then when it goes out.
