Thanks, it's great to know there is a way. But I don't understand to implement it.

I'm in Word 2016. I choose Insert tab > Text section > Quick Parts > Field, to get to the Field dialog.

In the list of codes I see both Date and Quote. If I choose Date and click Field Codes, the field code is populated with the word DATE. If I change that to QUOTE{DATE}, it returns nothing. If I do the same starting with QUOTE, same result. If I try {QUOTE{DATE}}, the OK button remains grayed out, so I can't return it.

If instead of selecting Date or Quote from the list I choose Formula, and enter the formula =QUOTE{DATE}, I get an error in the document when I return it. Same result with ={QUOTE{DATE}}.

In all cases, if I substitute parens for curly braces, that doesn't work either.

What am I missing?
