Can I total data brought in from an external data source?
Use the following type of field construction
{ = { MERGFIELD Field1name } + { MERGEFIELD Field2Name } + ....... }

I have a document that includes merge data (in the form of dollar amounts)
in
fields which are in a table. I would like to total those dollar amounts at
the bottom of the table. I tried using the sum function, but could not get
the formula function to recognize the merge fields.
Is this possible to do? And if so, how?
Thanks,
Nick.
