Default Date range

I want to add a date field to a document that will print out a range of
dates. The date range needs to be a daily calendar field. I need it to print
the date in a specific format like January 1, 2006 Sunday. This form is
going to be used as a log so it needs to have the date printed on it. Any
advice would be helpful.


Thanks in advance

Default Date range

I guess we would need more information on what range you are talking about,
when the document would be prepared, etc. Version of Word might help, too.

This is more complex than you might imagine, but it might be able to 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.
