MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / August 2004Today's date + n days
Hi, I cannot find any more relevant newsgroup than this one for this request. I want to insert a future date based on today's date into my document, like today + n days brought forward to the next working day. Tried to insert a fielld with DATE + 45, but it just inserts today's date. Cheers, Thorbjorn So I found the solution through a Macro (!) on Graham Mayor's page (thanks for that). If you ever wondered, here it is: http://www.gmayor.com/insert_a_date_other_than_today.htm Cheers, Thorbjorn > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Cheers, Thorbjorn This is more complex than you might imagine, but it can 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.
