Time/Date stamps in Word

[scottalanclymer]

Have been using Word to edit my webpage. Have 5 timezones I want t
automatically update the stamp every time I open the file. See it a
home comcast net ~scottalanclymer. I think the method I'm currentl
using is considered a table. It's a snippit of a few columns and row
from excel using the formulas I already had there in my dail
worksheet. But every time I open my page in Word to update it, I hav
to right click the table, hit O, hit E, the table updates the formula
from the current system time. Then I hit escape. It creates an IMAGE o
the table. Then I have to adjust the width or heighth of the image t
make it look like it's close to being normal again. It's a pain. I'
rather be able to write the code in Word, 5 lines, utilizing th
time/date function, with offsets for the hours I need, I already hav
the math done on that, and have all 5 lines update with no work on m
part each time I open the file for editing. Any takers on thi
challenge

Let me simplify my question:
Is there a simple code to insert the current system time, but offset b
1 hour, in a Word document?

Selection.InsertAfter "The time: " & Format(Time, "h:mm") & _
vbCr & "The time an hour ago: " & _
Format(DateAdd("h", -1, Time), "h:mm") & vbCr & _
"The time an hour from now: " & Format(DateAdd("h", 1, Time), "h:mm")

vbCr & "The time an hour ago: " & _
Format(DateAdd("h", -1, Time), "h:mm") & vbCr & _
"The time an hour from now: " & Format(DateAdd("h", 1, Time),
"h:mm")

ok, that's a little obscure for me. I know my way around Excel, but
Word is a different animal. Is that some kind of programming language?
Cause it's just jibberish to me. Let me put a section of my excel file
here.

It's only 40K. It shows what I'm doing in Excel. I just want a simple
way to do the same thing in Word. Don't know how to apply programming
code in Word.

Greg has included vba code which when run will insert the time plus one hour
at the cursor - see http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm
If you want it calculate the date in the document without using a macro,
then refer to the link I pointed you to earlier. The field construction
required to add times is on the last page of the document. Ensure that you
read the introduction before using it.
