Default Can word calculate a column in a table in a form template?

Okay, I re-read your reply and entered a text form field in each cell of the
column I would like to automatically sum once numbers are entered.

Here's my confusion: when I place my cursor in the subtotal cell and choose
insert, field, there's no category for calculation. There is a box to choose
formula and if I choose that it wants a range?

Please help -- thank you!

Use a calculation form field; that is, insert a text form field and, in the
Form Field Options, choose Calculation as the type and enter the desired
formula.

Hi.

I have a template that works like a form where people enter information

into
text boxes.

One part of the form has a table and I want people to enter numbers into

one
column. I would like the subtotal and total column to automatically add up
whatever numbers are entered.

Is this possible?
