I need to insert the date of every monday on a timesheet document for work. I would like this to be done automaticaly. However as far as i can see you can only auto add the current system date. Is there a way to do this?

Unfortunately, MS Word has virtually no date handling built in. I've seen some complex code that does something along those lines, but I don't recommend it to anyone. Still, I've attached the link to it.



Hope that helps.

As you would only have to do this the once, and if you need Mondays for the whole year, that is only 52 entries and wouldnt take long but you could put the first date in a spreadsheet, autofill it down for the whole year then filter out just the Mondays, then its a simple matter of copy and pasting into your Word document. But of course, even easier than that is putting the first two Monday dates in, say 7th July and 14th July for example, highlight both, then autofill down so the computer would carry on bringing in just the Mondays, then as before, copy and paste.
