Calculate a Future Date in Word 2010

Question

I am trying to insert a date field into Word 2010 so that tomorrow's date displays when the document is updated.  I have some field code that I gathered from other sites, but cannot get it to display the correct date.  Any help is appreciated.

You don't really need the full power of macropod's date fields for this one, but there are still a few things to think about. The following should do it, but you can probably simplify it. Test thoroughly! 
{ QUOTE { SET F "YYYY-MM-DD" }{ SET Y "{ DATE \@YYYY }" }{ IF { DATE \@MMDD } = 1231 "{ =Y+1 \#0000 }-01-01" "{ SET M "{ DATE \@MM }" }{ SET DI "{ Y }-{ M }-{ ={ DATE \@D }+1 \#00}" }{ IF "{
DI \@D }" = "{ DI }" "{ Y }-{ =M+1 \#00 }-01" "{ DI }" }" } \@{ F } }
Notes:
1. The SET F field sets up the format you want to use for the output date. You might use DD MMMM YYYY, for example
2. This formula relies on the fact that Word does not treat 2011-09-31 (say) as a valid date. So whereas "2011-09-30" \@D yields "30", "2011-09-31" \@D yields "2011-09-31"
3. It also relies on the fact that (AFAIK) "YYYY-MM-DD" is recognised correctly regardless of your Windows regional settings. At least, with the "Western" calendar.
