I'm trying to create an automatic weekly schedule without always having to manually write down the dates. I need to create weekly schedules for 6 month periods at a time and it is a bit time consuming to manually write the dates for each week.



I've attached a picture in order to present the problem.

Something like this is going to be a bit of work to set up, but it can be done as a template that either starts with the current date or gives you the opportunity to input a date and sets the remaining dates. You can download DateCalc.zip by Paul Edstein which gives a wealth of date fields, as well.

Thank you for the hints. I actually had downloaded the datecalc file already, but could not find any help from it. I think this might be easier to be done in excel but I will give it a go and see what comes up.

The tutorial has a section on sequential dates, and the link I posted has a practical implementation of the technique in a document using formfields. Definitely easier in Excel, though. I'd only recommend using Word if absolutely necessary.

It would definitely be easier in Excel.
