Default How to calculate Future Dates?

I already have word automatically generating the 'last saved date' of the
document, which I call the 'effective date'. This is always in the same
location and never moves.

From this I would like for word to calculate, automatically, two future
dates. This would remove the need for people to manually enter those dates
and as such make mistakes.

I would like to be able to take this effective date and generate two future
dates: Review date = (effective date + 22 months) and also Expires date =
(effective date + 24 months)

an example of this is:

Effective Date: 5 April 2006
Review Date: 5 February 2008
Expiry Date: 5 April 2008

Is there anyway to 'reference' another date and create to future dates from
this? I've done this within excel and now need the same functionality but for
word..

Help!
