For a 'tutorial' with examples of how you can do this and much more than you
ever thought you might want to with dates and times, all using Word fields,
download the Word document at: www.wopr.com/cgi-bin/w3t/showthreaded.pl?Number=249902
Or, use the DateAdd() function in VBA

Hope this helps.

I take it that you want to have Word automatically calculate the due date,
either from the current date or a date that you input.

This is more complex than you might imagine, but it can be done. See http://addbalance.com/word/datefields2.htm for information on the different
kinds of ways to make a date calculation work. It includes links to pages
with fields and an explanation of different macros that can be used instead
of fields.
