How can you get a merge date to add days to it?
I am trying to build a Word Merge and I am pulling in a date field. I want
this field to add 10 days to the date that it pulls in and show the true date. How or what type of switch do I need to add. Thanks |

Hi Roger,
For a 'tutorial' with examples of how you can do this and much more than you ever thought you might want to with dates and times, all using Word fields, download the Word document at: http://www.wopr.com/cgi-bin/w3t/show...?Number=249902 (url all one line) Cheers "Roger" wrote in message ...

Thanks for the information. This document is very helpful but I am having
trouble following it. I see what I am looking for and when I toggle the field to see what the code was all I am seeing is lots of blank spaces. If I have a date merge field or the {DATE \@ “MMMM d, yyyy”} What would I need to add to this worker to get it to add 10, 20, or 30 days and then display November 12, 2004 + 10 days (November 22, 2004) or November 12, 2004 + 20 days (December 2, 2004) or November 12, 2004 + 30 days (December 12, 2004) I have a report that I am trying to create that pull in a date and I need to add another date field that is that date plus 10, 20 or 30 days. If that is in the document then I missed it and I am sorry to bug you again on this. Any information that you can give me I would be very thankful.

Hi Roger,
The problem you're having is because you're merely placing the cursor in the field then pressing Shift-F9. As it says in the intro notes: "To see the inner workings of any field, select it and press Shift-F9 - in many cases, merely pressing Shift-F9 with the cursor positioned in the field isn't enough." So, select the whole field, then press Shift-F9. Alternatively, just press Alt-F9 anywhere in the document to toggle all the field codes on/off at once. Cheers "Roger" wrote in message ...
