Can I calculate a merged date field based on today plus # of days

[Lorraine]

I would like to add a calculated date field to a Word document. The result
should be the current date plus a number of days. Although I've used tables
for calculations, it is important in this case for the date to always be in
the correct format, for example January 17, 2006. Are there tables to
compare the julian dates, etc.?

I am also looking for a way to put tomorrow's date in a table cell. I tried
using fillin and bookmarks (for repeated dates) but when merged, all toolbars
and menus disappeared (it works fine without fillin). I copied and pasted
your link below and got an empty page. Can you give me the proper syntax for
tomorrow's date (Word 2000) to show up like "March 29, 2006"? Thanks.

Guess it needs th http:// in front of it.

Thanks so much for your response - I did look carefully through that, but
either I don't understand it or it isn't there just as I need it. Can you
give me the correct syntax?
