Future Date?

[Quack Boy]

Is it possible to print a future date function in a form? Say for
example I wanted to print the date in thirty days time

DATE:{date \@ "MMMM d+30 days, yyyy"}

where d+30 days is the current day + 30 days.

Thank you.

You can't do it directly. Sadly -- and for no obvious reason -- Word fields
do not support arithmetic on dates. It is however very easy to do with
macros. You can use the DateAdd() function, or if you are just dealing with
days you can add them directly: FutureDate = Now + 30.

You can do this, but it is complicated to do with fields.
