This is a sad gap in Word's field functionality. The only real solution is
to write a macro to do it. VBA has DateAdd() and DateDiff() functions for
date calculations. It is theoretically possible using fields (hunt around
for posts from a creature called Macropod) -- entertaining if you enjoy
Julian number calculations, but not reliable for serious use.

Folks - I'm out of ideas regarding how to insert a calculated future date.
I've tried:
1. using date fields in a formula (nested fields); all I can get using
this
approach is an incremented year, despite use of date format switches.
2. using a reference to a bookmarked current date and incrementing it.

Perhaps giving up caffeine is taking its toll; it seems this would be a
fairly common task? Has anyone done this?

Thanx, Tim
