Modify a field in Word2003
Hi
I want to add a date field which displays the date one month (or some other interval) ahead of the date of opening/printing the document. I seem to only be able to insert today's date. Any help appreciated. -- Geoff |

Hi geoff,
To see how to do this and just about everything else you might want to do with dates in Word, check out my Word Date Calculation Tutorial, at: http://www.wopr.com/index.php?showtopic=249902 or http://www.gmayor.com/downloads.htm#Third_party Do read the document's introductory material. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "Geoff" wrote in message ...

Modify a field in Word2003
Thanks Macropod, but the document is a bit too complicated for me. Could you
just let me have the field for a date which is one month in the future?

Modify a field in Word2003
Hi Geoff,
You should be able to copy & paste the example from the item titled 'Calculate a day, date, month and year, using n months delay'. Then, change the 'SET Delay -1' expression to 'SET Delay 1'. Other than that, you may want to change the 'dd' and 'mm' order and, possibly, the actual date format in the last line (ie "{dd}-{mm}-{yy}" \@ "dddd, d MMMM yyyy"), as discussed in the tutorial's Introduction. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "Geoff" wrote in message ...

I tried that, and the result it gave me is 3-2-5053.
What does that mean? -- Geoff "macropod" wrote: Hi Geoff, You should be able to copy & paste the example from the item titled 'Calculate a day, date, month and year, using n months delay'.

Hi Geoff,
As explained in the tutorial's introduction, you have to update the field, which you havn't yet done. Simply select it and press F9. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "Geoff" wrote in message ... I tried that, and the result it gave me is 3-2-5053.
