Is it possible? Yes. Would I want to do it? No.
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.

Is it possible to format an annually incrementing number in a Word.doc so
that, ie, "Joe has 15 years of experience" automatically updates
(increments)
to "Joe has 16 years of experience", one year after a specified date.
This
would allow years of service to be embedded in resumes maintenance-free,
as
well as enable corp comm groups to keep their company history texts up to
date, and a host of other applications. Same goes for monthly, bi-annual,
semi-monthly, etc.
