Hi UsedBits,

For a 'tutorial' with examples of how you can do this and much more than you
ever thought you might want to with dates and times, all using Word fields,
download the Word document at:

I'm trying display a date with 120 days added to it. The date is merged
into
the document. The following formula {=DateAdd("d",120,{ MERGEFIELD
"ODP_DATE" } ) } simply displays the formula as a text literal with the
merged date whether or not contained in a 1x1 table.

The document reads something like this:

You have 120 days from {MERGEFIELD ODP_DATE} to return service. The new
date is {=DateAdd("d",120,{ MERGEFIELD "ODP_DATE" })}.
