Default calculating form fields in word 2007

Thanks for your assistance with this. I saw this fix from your other posts
and I've checked "calculate on exit for each field i'd like to include. I've
entered this calculation in the calculation field:
=(c1+c2+c3+c4+c5+c6+c7+c8+c9+c10+c11+c12+ivc1+ivc2 +ivc3+vc1+vc2+vc3)/18

i'd like each of these fields to be added together and then divided by 18 to
get an average but the calculation field returns the following result:
"c1 is not in table"

First of all, you don't have to bookmark form fields; they have built-in
bookmarks, which you can edit, if you like, in the Form Field Options
dialog. You then insert an additional form field and choose Calculation as
the type. Your formula can use the bookmarks attached to those fields. Be
sure you check "Calculate on exit" in the Form Field Options for each field
that contributes to the calculation.

i've created a form in word 2007. I've bookmarked the form fields that i
want added in the calculation and I would like to enter a calculating
field
to add the bookmarked fields and average them; inserting the answer where
my
calculation field is located. Can anyone help with this or is there a
better
way? "sum(above)" doesn't work here since the tables are not connected.
I
am new at this.

thanks,
