Default How can I insert current system time, but offset by 1 hour?

Have been using Word to edit my webpage for a couple years now. Have 5
timezones I want to display and automatically update every time I open the
file to show when the page was last updated. See it at home comcast net
~scottalanclymer. I think the method I'm currently using is considered a
table. It's a snippit of a few columns and rows from excel using the formulas
I already had there in my daily worksheet. It is based on the premise that 1
hour = 0.041666666666666666666666666666667 of a day. The math is very simple.
It's just 1/24 to extract the decimal value of 1 hour. But every time I open
my page in Word to update it, I have to right click the table, hit O, hit E,
the table updates the formulas from the current system time. Then I hit
escape. It creates an IMAGE of the table. Then I have to adjust the width or
heighth of the image to make it look like it's close to being normal again.
It's a pain. I want to flush the whole Excel table method, and be able to
write the code in Word, 5 lines, utilizing the time/date function, with
offsets for the hours I need. The goal is to have all 5 lines update with no
work on my part each time I open the file for editing.

My question in it's simplest form is:
How can I insert the date+time in a Word document, but offset by 1 hour?

This is the first time I've ever posted on this site. I'm just looking for
help on the question. There's 1 reply, it's you telling me I asked twice. I
did not. Is there help to be found here, or is it just hassle?

I posted it on WordBanter. Never heard of "microsoft.public.word.tables".
Don't know what it is. Don't want to know what it is. I'm not here to
understand forums. I'm here to try and get a simple answer. If you're more
into interrogating new users, sorry. I'm not here for that. If you have any
help, it would be appreciated.

Yes, I see now that the header on that post does say ""scottalanclymer"
wrote in message
," but WordBanter (whatever that
is), is obviously just a pipeline to the Microsoft newsgroups on Usenet, and
it appears in the newsgroup I cited. Graham Mayor posted a reply there, to
which you replied, and Greg Maxey posted a follow-up. Regardless of how you
are posting, I am seeing all these postings on the Microsoft news server via
NNTP.

Most of us who post in these newsgroups do read several of them, and we
don't distinguish the source of the posts, so your post in
microsoft.public.word.tables and the identical one here in
microsoft.public.word.newusers appeared to me to be duplicates (as in fact
they were). Since you are posting here through the Microsoft Communities
Discussion Groups, I suggest that you look in the list of discussion groups
for the one labeled "tables," where you will find your duplicate post.
