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

utilities to create the fields and an explanation of different macros that
can be used instead of fields. It also has a link to
www.wopr.com/cgi-bin/w3t/showthreaded.pl?Number=249902 which is a document
with various fields already created.
