Hello, I need to add 14 days to the date I enter in the document inside of
the body of the letter.
I manually enter the date of the letter, and this field should take that
entry (do I need to make it a field) and add 14 days to it and display it as
DDD, MMMM dd, yyyy.

Can this be done, and how.
Thanks
Bob Reynolds

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.
