The simplest way to do this may be to create another field in your data
source and do the calculation there. Excel and Access both handle dates
better than Word. Otherwise, it can be done in Word, but this is more
complex than you might imagine. 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
utilities to create the fields and an explanation of different macros that
can be used instead of fields. It also has a link to
http://www.wopr.com/cgi-bin/w3t/show...?Number=249902 which is a document
with various fields already created.

I need to be able, when a document is printing in Word to populate a date
merge field that is 60 days in the future - I have tried multiple
formats -
but haven't been able to figure it out. Anyone know how to do this?
