Using Date Fields

[Rahul]

I am using a Date Field from Insert menu in Word 2007 to insert the current
date into the document.

However, I want to insert a future date (say 1 month from now) into the
document. Date field always inserts the current date. Is it possible to
insert a futute date???

The document is excellent regarding the use of Dates in Word.

However, there are numerous logical errors. Some of the fields I tested gave
different answers than the expected ones.

Although the document can be used to learn the field manipulation in Word,
the examples cannot be simply copied due to logical errors. You would need to
study the Fields, and correct them (which is a non-trivial task even for a
programmer considering the cryptic Word Field syntax).

Did you read the preface to the document regarding regional differences?

Thanx, that solved the problem exactly.
I had not read the preface.
