Something along the lines -
{=({Mergefield Firstfield} + {Mergefield Otherfield}) \# "$,0.00"} See also http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Chris Stammers wrote: Hello, I have 2 currency fields that need to be added together to create a 'total premium' field.

Thanks Graham. I tried that and when I hit Alt+F9 to toggle, it displayed
!SYNTAX ERROR,1 I've tried playing with spaces between the plus sign vs. no spaces and various other variations but to no effect.

It will give a syntax error unless both fields are present and contain
numeric data. Update the field (F9) Create a directory merge containing just these fields. Merge to a new document and see what happens? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Chris Stammers wrote: Thanks Graham.

Funnily enough, as I was writing my last message, I thought it might because
the fields weren't yet populated. This has since proved to be the case and it does work. Thanks for your help again. I may be on again later for something else.
