Default Inserting Dates

Hi,
I need to insert a date into a letter. I know how to insert today's date and
have done so at the top of the page. But in the actual body of the letter, i
want to insert the date of two weeks from today. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks.

If the date is fixed at 2 weeks from the time of writing and does not have
to relate to today's date, then you could use a macro to insert and format
the date - see http://www.gmayor.com/downloads.htm#Third_party . Otherwise
see the alternative using fields suggested by Doug.
