If the field must be editable, you can only do this with macros, which
creates the problem of how you are going to ensure the users will allow the
macros to run. Ideally you should save the form as a template and users
would create new documents from it. In which case you can populate the date
fields from an autonew macro e.g.
Sub Autonew()
Dim sDate As Date
Dim fDate As Date
Dim dDoc As Document
Set dDoc = ActiveDocument
sDate = Format(Date, "dd/MM/yy")
fDate = Format((Date + 30), "dd/MM/yy")
With dDoc
.FormFields("Text1").Result = sDate
.FormFields("Text2").Result = fDate
.FormFields("Text1").Select
End With
End Sub
The macro assumes the two date form fields are bookmarked Text1 and Text2.
