Calculating Calendar Dates

How do I calculate the number of days from one date to another? For example,
a reservation made one year from now must be cancelled 60 days before the
date to avoid penalty charges.

We used to be able (pre-2003) to calculate on the calendar with the key
ctrl-G and enter English, e.g., "07/08/06 minus 60 days," and Outlook would
go to that date on the calendar.

Is this feature available somewhere else? Or differently?
 
It still works that way. What happens when you try? did you try rephrasing
it?

BTW - your example doesn't work in the go to date field for me - "60 days
before 7/8/2006" does, as does '12/1/2006 + 3d' - but '12/1/2006 - 3d'
fails.

Thank you! You were exactly right. The example I used just does not work
but I did not try other entries, including the one you suggested, and they
work.
