How to auto-populate a date in sequence from page to page, starting with a custom date

Did you look in the Microsoft Word Date Calculation Tutorial 'Sticky' thread at the top of this forum (https://www.msofficeforums.com/word/...-tutorial.html)? The tutorial provides a solution for that.

Thank you so much for replying!

Yes, I spent a couple of hours yesterday trying to figure out if the answer was in there, and with the help of some friends I was able to find the solution - thank you!

For anyone searching this thread the precise chapter in MacroPod's tutorial is 'Calculate a date sequence' replacing the first two fields with the alternatives given 'to start from a date other than today'

To set the start date in the document, press CTRL-A, then F9, this will update all subsequent fields
