Can I calculate "date + number of days" in a Word template?
On our invoice template we have an invoice date box and a payment due date
box. The invoice date is filled using a date field, and as our payment terms are 30 days from the date of the invoice it would be handy if the payment due date box could be automatically calculated and filled in some way. Does anybody know how to do this? Thanks... Ali |

Yes, you're right - I used Charles Kenyon's version (thanks Charles if you're
reading this - I've bookmarked your site!) and it was rather a scary looking mass of {}s! Luckily I'm used to seeing things like that from a previous job that I used to do... The biggest problem I had was getting the date to display in UK format instead of the US format it was producing. Got there in the end though - hurrah!

It looks pretty frightening, but you can do it easily if you are a VERY accurate typist :-) Since you already understand fields, you already know that you can't "type" the field bounding braces { and }, you have to "insert" them using Ctrl + F9.
