If you want the exact formula, I'll do it for you. The charge will be
$300.00. If you want to learn how to do it yourself, read on. 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 pages
with fields and an explanation of different macros that can be used instead
of fields.

Use the fields in the document you can download as a starting point and
substitute your merge field for the Date or CreateDate field in it.
