Hi, new on here, first post, so be gentle!



I'm drawing up a roster which is based on a 28 day cycle with a separate page for each day.

The header for each page is identical except that the date for each day is obviously different.

Is there any way to have Word automatically & sequentially date each page relative to the date in the first page header?

Hope it's clear what I'm trying to do.

Thanks,

Neil

Hi Neil,

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:
http://lounge.windowssecrets.com/index.php?showtopic=249902
or
http://www.gmayor.com/downloads.htm#Third_party
In particular, look at the item titled 'Calculate a Date Sequence'. Do read the document's introductory material.

For the first field in that example, you'll need to change the coding to:
{QUOTE{ASK StartDate "What is the Start date?"} {REF StartDate \@ "dddd, d MMMM yyyy"}}
For the second field, you'll need to replace the four 'DATE' strings with 'StartDate'. The remaining fields can be used as they are - though you might want to change the date formatting on all the fields.

Note: The field brace pairs (ie '{ }') for the above example are created via Ctrl-F9 - you can't simply type them or copy & paste them from this message.
