Date change..

[Jorge]

Is there a way to have the date automatically appear in a document
displaying the day before?
We run a day behind and I can do this in Wordpro...

Thank-you...

Jorge,

The is a resource at this link that provides all sorts of field codes for
generating dates:

This is more complex than you might imagine, but it can be done. See
http://addbalance.com/word/datefields2.htm for information on the different
kinds of ways to make a date calculation work. It includes links to pages
with fields and an explanation of different macros that can be used instead
of fields. See http://addbalance.com/word/datefields1.htm for information on
the different kinds of datefields and how to format them.

Hi Jorge,

Insert a bookmark named Date in the template where you want the date to
appear and create an autonew macro in the template with the command

ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Date").Range.InsertBefore Format(DateAdd("d", - 1,
Date), "MMMM dd, yyyy")

Hi Jorge,

Go to:

and download the zipped Word file there. This file shows how to do such a
calculation using Word fields that you can simply copy & paste into your
document.
