You're right about ït being misleading. Also, I couldn't find any
reference
to that using Help.

Still on the subject of calculating formulas in a Word Table, is there any
way we can find the cell reference (A1, B1, C1 etc.)? When creating
forms,
you merge and split cells all the time and you lose track of the columns
and
rows.

Thanks again.

"Calculate on exit" is a misleading term; "update on exit" would be more
accurate, since many of the uses of the field have nothing to do with
calculation, as when there is a REF field referring to the bookmark of a
text form field; checking "Calculate on exit" ensures that the REF field
updates automatically.

Thank you so much Suzanne. I only had the "calculate on exit"
property
set
for the "Total cost" field and didn't realize that all the fields
referenced
in the formula (Qty and Price) had to have it enabled also.

Thanks was so helpful!

Thanks again.

Do you have "Calculate on exit" checked in the Form Field Options
for
every
field that contributes to the calculated field?

Hello,

What do I need to do to have a table update values in a protected
form? I
set the formulas in the "Text Form Field" properties, but it
doesn't
seem
to
update the values.

I'm trying something simple, i.e., multiply the "Qty" by the
"Price"
columns and show the result in the "Total Cost".

Appreciate your help.
