Default Date fields

If these dates have a fixed relationship to one another (and or the current
date) you could automate the whole date insertion process without having to
prompt for dates - see

link to Macropod's excellent work on date field calculations -

I'm very new to this, and pretty much teaching myself how to use mail

SO - very simple: I'm putting together Request for Proposal letters
where I have to fill in the current date, proposal due date, draft
date and final report date.

How do I create fiels for each date so that the document essentially
"asks" the user what date to fill in each field?

Thanks!
