Create date based checklists for printing
I would do this as a mail merge from Excel. Create a data source in Excel
that can be updated each month (see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMerge/...DataSource.htm). Each record in Excel will contain a single field, the date. Excel allows you to insert the dates via AutoFill and specify weekdays, as follows: Create a consecutive list of dates 1. Type the first day or date in the list, for example Monday or 6/13/08, in a cell. 2. Select the cell and use the fill handle to fill a list of consecutive days. Note: If you want only weekdays in your list, click Auto Fill Options and then select Fill Weekdays only. In your mail merge main document (use a Letter merge), insert a merge field where you want the date. When you create the merge, you'll get a document with a page/section for each weekday. -- Suzanne S.

"Hari" wrote in message ... I have created a document which is a checklist to be compleated everyweekday by employees. I want to print out the checklists one month in advance so they can be put in a binder. Does anyone have an idea on how I can insert the dates to the documents without mauanlly editing the document each time? Regards, Hari |
