I'm working on a template that people are supposed to report what they did
yesterday and what they are planning to do today.

Is there a way I can get Yesterday's date to automatically present itself
like I can with Today {Date \@ "d-MMM-yy"}? I just can't seem to find
anything.

Thank you.

This is more complex than you might imagine, but it can be done. See
http://addbalance.com/word/datefields2.htm for information on the different
kinds of ways to make a date calculation work. It includes links to pages
with fields and an explanation of different macros that can be used instead
of fields.

Hi Wade,

To see how to do this and just about everything else you might want to do
with dates in Word, check out my Date Calc 'tutorial', at:
