Re: Create date based checklists for printing



They could be simpler than many such fields, but far from simple. You simply
would only use a month and year formatted field and manually enter the day
portion for each. The Formatting Date Fields section of
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/DateFields.htm shows the switches to
pick out only the month and year in a date field. I expect that the original
poster would want the current month plus one in order to print such a
calendar before the month actually starts. If you are going to also use the
field for the year, you would still be testing for the end of the year.

On reflection, my thought would be that it would probably be easier (at
least as far as setting it up) to simply type dates into the template rather
than use fields and then do a replace when you actually create a document
based on the template. It would be relatively simple to have an AutoNew
macro query the user as to the month and year that would be used and have
that macro do the replace.

Actually, if you're doing this on a per-calendar-month basis (and don't
need
general case date addition logic) the field codes aren't that horrendous.

You would need a 31-page document with calculated date fields. This is
more
complex than you might imagine, but it can be done. See
http://addbalance.com/word/datefields2.htm for information on the
different
kinds of ways to make a date calculation work. It includes links to
utilities to create the fields and an explanation of different macros
that
can be used instead of fields. It also has a link to
www.wopr.com/cgi-bin/w3t/showthreaded.pl?Number=249902 which is a
document
with various fields already created.

I have created a document which is a checklist to be compleated
everyweekday
by employees. I want to print out the checklists one month in advance
so
they can be put in a binder. Does anyone have an idea on how I can
insert
the dates to the documents without mauanlly editing the document each
time?

Regards,
Hari
