Sequential Dates in Word
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.
