Date calculation - for a NON-genius
How do I insert a field that gives me "2007" in a letter.
I mean how do I insert a field that shows me next year.

Date calculation - for a NON-genius
As long as all you need to calculate is the date, it's
straightforward: { = { DATE \@ "yyyy" } + 1 } To insert each pair of field delimiters, press Ctrl+F9. Type the instructions exactly as shown. Press F9 to update. Note that the above fields show the next year based on the current year. That is, if the field is updated next year, it will display 2008. If you want to add 1 to the creation date of the file, use the following instead: { = { CREATEDATE \@ "yyyy" } + 1 } -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Gilbert De Ceulaer" wrote in message ...

{DATE \@ "yyyy"} will give you the year. (CTRL+F9 for the field boundaries)
{={DATE \@ "yyyy"} +1} will give you the year + 1 If you want anything more complicated you will have to sharpen that IQ. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Gilbert De Ceulaer wrote: How do I insert a field that gives me "2007" in a letter.
