When using a Word form letter with mail merge is it possible to do
calculations with the date (today's date) value.
Today's date would appear in the heading area.
Then, I would like to have a date that is 14 days from the current date,
any
date the form letter is utilized, printed in the body of the letter used
in
the mailmerge.
