Hi, I would like to add a field or formula to word so that it will
automatically put in the year (don't need day/month) minus one. Something
like yyyy-1 but this doesn't work. So in 2006 the forumula would show the
year as 2005.
Is this possible? If so how?
Thanks a lot

{ = { CreateDate \@ "yyyy" } - 1 } See
http://addbalance.com/word/datefields2.htm for information on the different
kinds of ways to make a date calculation work. It includes links to pages
with fields and an explanation of different macros that can be used instead
of fields.
