The special field braces {} that surround each field cannot be typed on the
keyboard. You can insert them using ctrl-F9.
e.g.
ctrl-F9:
{ }
type NUMWORDS inside
{ NUMWORDS }
select the file and press ctrl-F9:
{ { NUMWORDS } }
type =ROUND after the first { :
{ =ROUND({ NUMWORDS } }
type , -3) before the final } :
{ =ROUND({ NUMWORDS },-3) }

I'm trying to round the number of words to the nearest hundred in my
document
but keep getting an error when using the following formula:
{ = ROUND ({NUMWORDS], -3) }
The error I receive is as follows:
!Syntax Error, {
If I replace {NUMWORDS} with an explicit number, the field works fine.
I am running Word 2007. Any help is appreciated...
