Dear all,

I would like to add a field in a word document that given a date stored in a bookmark and a number stored in another bookmark adds the number of days (number bookmark) to the stored date (datebookmark).

Anyone any ideay how to do that without coding?

Kind Regards,
iLDC
 
For date calculations you _can_ use a complex field. See

Hi iLDC,

Check out the vba DateAdd function.

Aw c'mon Graham - your macro could hardly be described as simpler than the
field-based solution, which can simply be copied & pasted without the need
to learb vba. For some users, and some applications, that's a real bonus! In
this case, all that might be needed with the field solution (page 3 of the
link) is to point the SET d/m/y and SET Delay fields to the stored date
(datebookmark) and the number of days (number bookmark), respectively.

Cheers
 
I provided both links so the user can make a decision on which is better :)
My macro suggestion is flexible to cover a wide range of date differences.
For a fixed difference it need not be so complicated. I do however concede
that your date solutions are ingenious and respect the work that went into
developing them.
