Actually, it's not so easy. Within the body of the document dates are
*words* not numbers, so unless you've formatted them using ISO 8601
(yyyy-mm-dd), the notion of 'largest' is indeterminate. Word tables are not
spreadsheets.

I have a table column which contains dates. I want to show the largest
date
in a field on another page. I've tried using the formula "= max(bookmark
b:b)", but it shows 0.0.

I'm sure I could do it with a macro, but I really would prefer using a
field... Any suggestions?
