This tip in the attached PDF is for those users that:

1) Create and use their Word documents on PCs where both Word and Excel are installed via a Microsoft Office install.
2) Create Word documents/templates that contains a date or numerical value that must be calculated based upon currently entered data.
3) Find using Excel formulas easier than Macro or Field coding to perform a calculation for a date or numerical value.

This method explains how to use the powerful functions of Excel from within a Word document/template. I suggest you create the example in the instructions to see how easy and functional using this method to perform calculations in a Word document.

As a person who has done this a time or two – save often. I have had Word suddenly screw up the formatting and nothing I can do to get it back to what I want other than reopening the old file.

Sometimes Word has a mind of it’s own.
