calculating dates

[heidi]

Is there a way to calculate a future date in a word
document based on the current date? Specifically, I send
out letters needing a response within two weeks. How can
I automatically have the response by date calculate
forward two weeks from the date I write the letter?

Very easy to do with a macro. Not otherwise.

Hi Heidi,

Take a look at the Word document at:
http://www.wopr.com/cgi-bin/w3t/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=wrd&Number=249902
(url all one line)

There you'll find examples to do this and much more using Word fields.

Cheers

The two ways to do this have been suggested. Save Macropod's field
construction as an autotext entry for ease of re-use or use a macro as
suggested by Jezebel - you'll find such a macro at
