<div>
It would be relatively simple with VBA. Put a bookmark i the place that the date is to appear.<br />
<br />
The macro should be put in the document template's ThisDocument module <br />

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-234986"><span>Private Sub Document_Open()</span>
<span>    Dim wdRange As Range</span>
<span>    Set wdRange = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks(&quot;Plus14&quot;).Range</span>
<span>    wdRange.Text = Format(DateAdd(&quot;d&quot;, 14, Now), &quot;dd/mm/yy&quot;)</span>
<span>    ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add &quot;Plus14&quot;, wdRange 'ensure that bookmark range contains the new text</span>
<span>End Sub</span>
</code></pre>
</div>

Does anyone have a set of code for Word Date Calculations that would work properly and display a date 15 days from today's date. &nbsp;We are trying to make this be as seamless for our client as possible, so when the document is opened this field should be updated automatically.

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
