Default Inserting Dates


Hi,
I need to insert a date into a letter. I know how to insert today's date and
have done so at the top of the page. But in the actual body of the letter, i
want to insert the date of two weeks from today. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks.

Shannan -

Yes. Allen Wyatt covers this succinctly in his post "Calculated Dates". See http://word.tips.net/T000810_Calculated_Dates.html . Basically, he uses a macro, shown he

Sub FutureDate()
Selection.TypeText Text:=Format(Date + 30, "mmmm d, yyyy")
End Sub

I hope this is what you had in mind.
