I have a template that I use to merge notice letters to clients. I want to take the {today's date} field and calculate 14 days in advance from then

So the letter will read: "Please contact us no later than [{today's date} + 14]. Is there any way to do that in MS Word?

Thank you

Hi Karla,

For a solution that doesn't require a macro, download the Word document at:
http://www.wopr.com/cgi-bin/w3t/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=wrd&Number=249902
(url all one line).
This document contains fields for all sorts of date manipulations using Word
fields.

Cheers
