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.

I'm trying to create a formula that will present the date 15 days from
today's date. This is what I have { DATE+15 \@ "MM/DD/YY" } but I get this
result !Undefined Bookmark, DATE. I'm wanting to write a letter to a
customer
letting them know their payment is overdue and tell them what date they
have
to pay by. I want the "due date" to automatically calculate 15 days from
"today's" date (ie: the date that I'm writing the letter).
