Hi Dave,

Within Word:
1. table cell referencing only works for numbers, not text or dates. You can, however, bookmark the contents of a cell containing text or dates and use a cross-reference to that bookmark.
2. date maths is not as simple as taking a date and adding/subtracting another number. To see how to do just about everything else you might want to do with dates in Word, check out my Microsoft Word Date Calculation Tutorial, at:

Do read the document's introductory material.
