Hi ?B?Um9iZXJ0IE11bHJvbmV5?=,

Is it possible to have a document field return the result of a macro
function? I'm hopeing to have a field that would call a particular function
each time it is updated and display the results. It's important that I'm able
to pass a parameter to the function.

No, this simply is not possible in Word. Too bad...

Closest you could get in Word would be a MacroButton field that the user would
have to click.

Other than that, I can only imagine using something as a macro trigger (either a
keyboard shortcut or a specific application event) to update information in the
document. There are various things you could use as a "target".
