Can I make a date in the body of my letter automatically change to 45 days in
the future based on the actual date of the letter. For example, my letter
states that "response is due 45 days from the date of the letter, or by
(date)..." If so, how?

Hi

I saw this article on date values:

I haven't tried it so not sure if it works, but having read your request I think it covers what you require.

Hi

Another method would be to insert an Excel table and enter "=today()+45" obviously excluding the quotes in cell "A1" . and then drag the Excel table so that only 1 cell is showing. when you click away that should auto update each time it is reopened and used. You can also save this to the Quick parts library for future use.
