Insert Date Field + 7
Is there a way to insert the date field and then have it increment by 7 days
so it provides next week's date? I tried a few things but none of them worked. I know I could get this from Excel as a merge field, but if there's a way in Word I'd really like to know. Thanks! |

This can be done with fields, but it is complicated - see
http://www.wopr.com/cgi-bin/w3t/show...?Number=249902 A macro might be simpler? Sub DatePlus7() Selection.InsertBefore Format((Date + 7), "d MMMM yyyy") End Sub (change the mask to suit local preferences) -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org cottage6 wrote: Is there a way to insert the date field and then have it increment by 7 days so it provides next week's date?

This is more complex than you might imagine, but it can be done. 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. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Thank you both for your answers; it is definitely more complex than I
thought. The VB code worked nicely! "Charles Kenyon" wrote: This is more complex than you might imagine, but it can be done.
