I can let you have a macro which saves letters and things with a filename based on the day's date. But that's not quite what you want.

For incrementing things, could you store the incremented number in one of the document properties fields of the template you're using (it would be a string, of course, and you'd have to convert it to increment it). But it could be a string of essentially arbitrary length, which you may need, as you come up to your millionth document. NOte: I haven't tested this at all.
