Thanks macropod! Works fine!
I found that the second line works with or without "REF".


Also thanks for "WORD Date & Time Manipulation: Tips & Techniques" which helped a lot.

Backup your original file before doing any modification.

True, but cross-references - which is what you are using - should nevertheless be prefixed with REF. In any event, if you bookmark the result (whether via the SET field or by bookmarking the output) and cross-reference it via Insert|Cross-Reference, Word will always insert the REF part.
