Subtract a week using field code?

[Victoria.Hagberg]

Hi,
Is there a way that I can subtract a week from the current date
automatically using field code within an existing template or document?
I have a lab report due a week after the lab, every week- just trying
to minimize errors in my reports. What would this code look like?
Thanks!

To see how to do this and just about everything else you might want to do
with dates in Word, check out in Macropod's Date Calc 'tutorial', at:

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.
