Bullets and numbering

I am transcribing several years of diaries and want to automatically insert
the next day when I hit enter. E.g. I enter the information from the 1st of a
month that is a Wednesday, and when I hit "Enter" I want Word to
automatically insert "2nd, Thursday," "3rd, Friday,"....... I have used
numbering to insert the date but can't figure out how to insert the day of
the week; I have to manually insert the day. Note that I don't need the month
to be entered. I will also accept the day followed by the date. (E.g. -
"Thursday, 2nd," Friday, 3rd," etc.)

The document is "sectioned" and the name of the appropriate month is the
"title" of each section.

Can this type of Bullet or Numbering be accomplished in Word 2000, and, if
so, how? It will be a huge time saver for me!

Thanks in advance for any help or hints.

Word can't do this without macros. A short-cut would be to set it up in
Excel, then copy and paste into Word: you'll get a table with all the dates
already there.
