Hello,



In an enthusiastic mood, I decided to start creating my own teacher's planner.
An example of what I would like, can be found in the enclosed document.

The problem that I quickly ran into, is the "date thing".
In the enclosed document I filled in the dates myself. But I would like to avoid this, because filling in the dates for an entire school year, is quite a lot of work...

This problem also counts for the "Week #", that is now positioned in the header field.

Question: is there a way to having the date being filled in automatically?

My absolute thanks in advance!

All the best, Joop

Hi Jupke,

Getting Word to calculate dates is no trivial task. Nevertheless, 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/ind...owtopic=249902
or
http://www.gmayor.com/downloads.htm#Third_party
In particular, look at the item titled 'Calculate a Date Sequence'. For the week calculation, I imagine you could use something based on the 'Calculate the # Days Difference Between Two Dates' example, by addinf code to divide the # days by seven and discarding the remainder. Do read the document's introductory material.
