Display date difference in MS Word

Question

I have an CV and would like to automatically update my age when opening. So, what formula should I insert in a MS Word field?

Something like {= {DATE} - {"01/01/1983"} } ?

As an aside, this is a big no-no in the UK now... Employment legislation has made it illegal for employers to discriminate on an age basis so ages and DOB on CVs is a thing of the past!

It is possible inside a field but very complex. See this article and this article for more info.

The easiest way will be to use a macro.

	I saw similar articles, but... not very clear there. Very complex to obtain difference between 2 dates? :"( – serhio Apr 28 '10 at 12:39
	complex to do in a field code, easy to do in a macro. – Shevek Apr 28 '10 at 13:04

{IF{DATE\@"MM"} >= 01 { = {DATE\@"YYYY"} – 1983 \#"00"} { = {DATE\@"YYYY"} – 1984 \#"00"}}
