Adding a follow up date 10 days after current date
I need to add a follow up date to the body of a letter that will
automatically update according to the current date. I created a macro for this, but it doesn't change with the current date. It stays on 10 days from the date the macro was created. Any suggestions on how to fix this? I'm on a pretty short deadline with this... so any quick responses would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! |

Adding a follow up date 10 days after current 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 utilities to create the fields and an explanation of different macros that can be used instead of fields. It also has a link to http://www.wopr.com/cgi-bin/w3t/show...?Number=249902 which is a document with various fields already created. Another resource is http://www.gmayor.com/insert_a_date_...than_today.htm. -- 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://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
