Default Date fields calculations in Word Template.


I have a Word template that has a calendar pulldown for selecting the Letter Date. I would like to use this date to calculate a couple of other fields in the template. LetterDate + 30 days. LetterDate + 45 days. And LetterDate + 120 days.

It seems it should be a simple field definition in the template, but it is kicking my butt.

Possible, yes. Simple, not by a long shot!!!

To see how to do this and just about everything else you might want to do with dates in Word, check out my Microsoft Word Date Calculation Tutorial, at:

or

In particular, look at the item titled 'Calculate a day, date, month and year, using n days delay'. Do read the document's introductory material.
