Can Word automatically send reminders on specific future dates?

[eyedrequired]

I have an MS Word document with a number of subscription renewal dates
listed. Can I code the document/dates to send (email?) automatic renewal
reminders to individuals?

It depends what you mean by 'automatic'; exactly what the document contains;
where the information about the 'individuals' is coming from etc. One
thing's for sure, nothing is going to happen if the document is simply
sitting on a hard drive somewhere. This is probably something much easier to
achieve with Outlook which can be set up to perform dated and repetitive
tasks.

It's currently sitting on a hard drive. Would it make a difference if it
resided on a company network and the individuals are part of the company?

Thank you for your reply.

It wouldn't make any difference where the hard drive was. Documents do not
have a life of their own. Word has no ability to load a document at some
pre-determined future date and perform a task. Outlook however can be
programmed to do this. Ask in an Outlook forum if you wish to pursue it
