I would like to have a variable year in my Word Document. I want to
have a sentence that reads, in part, Please print your reports through period 11 of 2008. which is fine during 2010, but as soon as it become 2011, I want it to read: Please print your reports through period 11 of 2009. How can I do this? Thanks in advance. Rich |

Generally, date calculations are complicated in Word. However, in this case, the
following formula field should work: { = { DATE \@ "YYYY" } - 2 } To insert each pair of field delimiters, { }, press Ctrl+F9. Type the code as shown. Use F9 to update the field. To show/hide field codes, press Alt+F9. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP (Message posted via NNTP) "Richard" wrote in message ... I would like to have a variable year in my Word Document.
