Macros to pause for input to calculate a past date

[Terrae]

I think I might have posted this question incorrectly... so I apologize if I
am re-posting... I think I posted it as an "answer" instead of a
"question"... please accept my apologies for the re-post.. *blush*

I am not proficient with macros and would like to know if someone here could
create a macro that I can use to calculate a date, using the current date,
enter a numerical value, to calculate a past date, e.g. today's date,
subtract 3, to get the date for 3 days ago.... does that sound do-able? The
remainder of the macro would be text... here is a sample of the date issue I
am looking to resolve (btw... I am a medical transcriptionist):
XX 10/24/08
X

So basically, if today is 10/28/08, and the macro stops, I enter the value
of 4, it would calculate the date as 10/24/08. Is this something possible??
Thanks in advance to anyone who replies to my pleas for help... sorry, I am
not knowledgeable at ALL in how to program macros... (
