Formula for next year

[Neil Howie]

In Word 2000, I want to insert a field which displays next year (so that
when I re-open the document in 2006, it will display "2006-2007").
Inserting the current year is easy enough, but I can't find a means of
incrementing it.

First you bookmark current year:
Mark the entire field and select menu "Insert - bookmark".
Name the bookmark "thisyear"

Then insert a formula field for next year:
Menu "Insert - Field"
use formula "thisyear+1"
set the format with \#"0000" to force exactly four digits (otherwise you
may get a decimal point, depending on "general format" settings).
