Default 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.

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
