word 2010 auto date field
You're very close. This should work:
{ = { DATE \@ "YYYY" } - 1 }
Note that you have to insert each pair of field delimiter by pressing Ctrl+F9.
Also,
be sure to include spaces as suggested by the example above.
To update fields in the selection, press F9. To show/hide field all codes, press
Alt+F9.

have tried making this happen for days, so please help:
what i want is to create a field in MS Word 2010 that will automatically
populate with the current year minus one . . so it would show 2011 this
year, 2012 when it's 2013, etc. . .
my best current guess is some kind of function like ={DATE \@ "yyyy"}-1
but just can't get it to happen . .
help please!
