I finally managed to do it with help from: http://www.addbalance.com/word/datefields2.htm It worked to take my template, open the VB editor, choose the ThisDocument for my template, create a Document_Open(), and add the lines: Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="PrevFriday&quot...

A miracle has happened! I finally managed to do it with help from: http://www.addbalance.com/word/datefields2.htm It worked to take my template, open the VB editor, choose the ThisDocument for my template, create a Document_Open(), and add the lines: Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark...

The date formula would be ideal. (I need a very similar result, like the other Max who started this thread.) How can this be done to show the calculated date in a Word document? I have been trying a few different ways over the past few days but so far without success. Any suggestions? Max...

Thanks Fumei and Leslie. Unfortunately, I'm still not getting it. Whether I try it as a regular field or as a form field, whether I use a macro or not, and whether I use d or "d", I still get a syntax error and no visible date. I am obviously missing some crucial step(s) that may be...

Thanks Leslie. Actually, I wasn't using a form field but I am now. I changed the document to a template, created a macro, and added added a form field to the template. When I try to use it, I get a syntax compile error for the line: " DateAdd(d, -3, Date) " Do you know what I'm...

Hi, I have a document template that automatically fills in the current date for a field in the document. I would like another field to display the date that is three days before that date (i.e.: the current date minus three days). Is there a way to do this automatically? I would prefer not...

Hi wolluf, Yes it was your response in the other thread. That thread was from a guy who was having trouble with his icon text showing up bold and italic.

Thanks again for the information Wolluf. Both DeskColor and WatchCat do exactly what I wanted. An interesting thing about WatchCat is that its colour effects remain even after the application is closed and seem to continue until the machine is rebooted. Max

Thanks for the quick reply! I also found out from another thread (that somehow wasn't returned in a search) that WatchCat does what I wanted by default. I already used W'Cat occassionally but now I will make it start automatically on login. I think that I will still try DeskColor.exe though...

Hi all, This thread does not come up when I do a keyword search on "desktop icon", "all words", and only for this forum. Can anyone out there please explain to me why this is so? Max

Hi, I would like to keep the names of my desktop icons visible but not have a background box behind that text with the Desktop Background colour such that these boxes obscure areas of the wallpaper on the desktop. Basically, I would like to have it look like the names have transparent...
