1. Open the template you use for these notices.

2. Go to File Properties. Add a Custom property called RespondBy. Set the
type to Date and add a date value (doesn't matter what date - it's just a
dummy for setup purposes).

3. In the body of the document, where you want the date to appear, insert a
DocProperty field: { DocProperty RespondBy }.

4. Add this macro to the template ---

Public Sub AutoNew()
ActiveDocument.CustomDocumentProperties("RespondBy ") = Now + 10
ActiveDocument.Fields.Update
End Sub

I send out payment demand notices. Is there a way I can have a field in
Word
that would put a must respond by date of 10 days in the future from
today's
date on top of the document?
