So if Calendar1 is for EffectiveDate: , the code should look like:

Code:

Private Sub Calendar1_Click()
    Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory
    Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
    With Selection.Find
        .Text = "EffectiveDate: "
        .Replacement.Text = ""
        .Forward = True
        .Wrap = wdFindContinue
        .Format = False
        .MatchCase = False
        .MatchWholeWord = False
        .MatchWildcards = False
        .MatchSoundsLike = False
        .MatchAllWordForms = False
    End With
    Selection.Find.Execute
    Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1
    Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=11, Extend:=wdExtend
    Selection.Text = Format(Calendar1.Value, "mmm dd yyyy")
End Sub

If the ExpirationDate: calendar is named Calendar2, then the code will be like the above, with three exceptions... the calendar name (twice) and the text to find. I suspect you did not edit the final line to be the value for Calendar2.

ei man i tried what you said and changed the those 3 (i.e. Calendar1->Calendar2)

however whenever i choose the second date of the same calendar it's not the Text in the " .Text = "EffectiveDate: " " is not the one changed. How can i solve this thanks...

Hey, why not use bookmark instead, and create a form, where the user enters the date. Or use a textfield. Then in my experience, the date will appear where you placed the bookmarks, depending your need, ofcource
Much more convenient, than recording macro, i think at least.

Or, you can use ask fields.

Otherwise G.Mayor, has a great tutorial here:

Just a thought.

Good luck
