Default inserting a date field for a future date

I am creating a letter with a couple of fields. The first is a simple field
insert for today's date. The second needs to be a field for the date 2 weeks
from today. How can I insert a field in a Word document that displays the
date 2 weeks in the future? Thanks for any help.

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.
