I am trying to automate an entry in a template I have created, but Word
97-2003 only let you create a switch for entering todays date. You can
update this field, but I need to be able to print a document today with
tomorrows date in this column. Does anyone have any suggestions? I know
that in excel you can create a formula to enter the date + any number you
want . Is there any way to do this in Word?

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.
