Can Microsoft Word automatically fill in the date?

I would like to set up a simple weekly calendar in MS word, and enter the date for Sunday (on the lefthand column).


Is there a way to get a field into this calendar, that will add one day later to the number entered on the left? In other words, can I get the field in the Monday column to always display the next date, after Sunday? If I enter 26 October in teh Sunday column, is there a way to get Word to insert 27 October in the Monday column? And then, if I open up this file the week afterwards, and enter 2 November in the Sunday column, is there a way to get Word to enter 3 November in the Monday column?

This would be a lot easier in Excel.

Date calculations in Word are possible, but complicated. You can download a tutorial by Word MVP macropod from http://www.gmayor.com/downloads.htm - look for DateCalc.zip in the Third Party Downloads section.

Those macro formulas do look complicated. You know, I'll just type the dates for the entire week at the top (ie, 26 Oct-1 Nov) and that should be good enough. I can always go to the system tray if I need to. Thanks anyways.
