MS Word AutoText

Is it possible to setup an auto text which is the date 14 Days Into the
Future of the creation date?

Yes, but it is complicated - see

This is more complex than you might imagine, but it can be done. You would
design a date calculation field and then save that as an AutoText. 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.

Genius - however doesnt explain how to do it from the create date - merely
the current date, but still helps

You have to be a little imaginative and use CreateDate instead of Date or
StartDate
eg

{QUOTE { SET Delay 14 }{SET a{=INT((14-{CreateDate \@ M})/12)}}{SET
b{={CreateDate \@ yyyy}+4800-a}}{SET c{={CreateDate \@ M}+12*a-3}}{SET
d{CreateDate \@ d}}{SET
jd{=d+INT((153*c+2)/5)+365*b+INT(b/4)-INT(b/100)+INT(b/400)-32045+Delay}}{SET
e{=INT((4*(jd+32044)+3)/146097)}}{SET f{=jd+32044-INT(146097*e/4)}}{SET
g{=INT((4*f+3)/1461)}}{SET h{=f-INT(1461*g/4)}}{SET
i{=INT((5*h+2)/153)}}{SET dd{=h-INT((153*i+2)/5)+1}}{SET
mm{=i+3-12*INT(i/10)}}{SET
yy{=100*e+g-4800+INT(i/10)}}{=dd*10^6+mm*10^4+yy \# "00'-'00'-'0000"}
\@ "dddd, d MMMM yyyy"}

The delay at the beginning is the difference between the createdate and the
required future date and the format at the end is the display format of the
inserted date itself.

I don't understand your reply. This is a set of fields. They will remain as
you enter them.
