Default Modify a field in Word2003

All good, many thanks and sorry for my being a bit obtuse!

Cheers, Geoff

Hi Geoff,

As explained in the tutorial's introduction, you have to update the field, which you havn't yet done. Simply select it and press F9.

I tried that, and the result it gave me is 3-2-5053.
What does that mean?

Hi Geoff,

You should be able to copy & paste the example from the item titled 'Calculate a day, date, month and year, using n months
delay'.
Then, change the 'SET Delay -1' expression to 'SET Delay 1'. Other than that, you may want to change the 'dd' and 'mm' order and,
possibly, the actual date format in the last line (ie "{dd}-{mm}-{yy}" \@ "dddd, d MMMM yyyy"), as discussed in the tutorial's
Introduction.

Thanks Macropod, but the document is a bit too complicated for me. Could you
just let me have the field for a date which is one month in the future?

Many thanks

Hi

I want to add a date field which displays the date one month (or some other
interval) ahead of the date of opening/printing the document. I seem to only
be able to insert today's date. Any help appreciated.
