Default How to create user defined field or function in word

I would like to create a user defined field or function in a word document.
The document has many year references that are update each year by one year.
i.e. 2006 to 2007, 2005 to 2006 etc. I would like to create a field that I
can assign a value to and use it to create other year values in the document.
The end result would be to update the userdefined fields value and have it
then update all references using that field in the document.

Default How to create user defined field or function in word

Word doesn't directly supportt user functions. Whatr you can do, however, is
create a macro to set the value of document properties (optionally based on
the value of other properties, or bookmarks, or any other document values),
then use DocProperty fields to display them.
