I have a Word document in which I use Ask and Ref field codes to input the
current year. The field is called "Year". In a few sentences, I'd like to
automatically increment the current year upward by one. So I have tried a
field code of Ref Year +1, but that just returns the current year. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Try

{ = { REF Year } + 1 }

(all the {} have to be the special field code braces that you can insert
using ctrl-F9)

?
{ = {CreateDate \@ "yyyy" } + 1 }

might be nearer what you had in mind.
