Unfortunately, Word doesn't provide a simple field-based way to do date
arithmetic. If you've got nothing better to do and yoru document has no
legal significance, you can experiment Macropod's hilarious field
calculations (do a Google); but if the requirement is anything serious,
you'll need to use a macro.

Hey all,
I use Word97. I'm trying to create an auto update field that shows the
print date + 28 days in 'day, date month year' format in a letter.
The field code for the print date is: { PRINTDATE \@ "dddd, dd MMMM yyyy"
\* MERGEFORMAT }
I've experimented with a couple of things, but had no glory at all.
Cheers
Tony
