Default Form Page In Word and Auto Calculate

I created a form page but can't figure out how to auto add a table of
numbers. For example, I have 2 text fields of type number and number format
is in dollars (this can be in any number format). I bookmarked each field as
NUMB1 and NUMB2. Now in a 3rd text field I created, bookmarked as SUM, I want
to have the sum of NUMB1 + NUMB2. I tried to define the text field as
Caclulation, the Expression as "=NUMB1+NUMB2" and the Number format as
dollars. When I test out the form page I can enter in values in NUMB1 and
NUMB2 but SUM always has $0.00 and never changes. I tried checking Calculate
on exit and that did not have any affect.

My Question is do I need to do anything else and what?

Does this require a macro and where can I go to learn how to write a macro
to do this and other things?
