Help with calculation in a form.
How do you enter a calculation within a table in a form template? I am
currently creating a Purchase Requisition and want two fields to multiply together so that the person filling out the form does not need to perform the calculation. I have tried everything within the help menu. I am using WORD 2002 and have Windows 2000 Professional. |

Help with calculation in a form.
The two fields that the user fills out have names: right-click and select
properties. The defaults are names like Text1, Text2. Change these to something meaningful: Quantity, Price or whatever. Then use a calculation field: { = Quantity * Price } Then add a validation, so the user is warned if they enter a quantity or price that Word can't recognise as numeric. "Janine" wrote in message ...

I figured it out.
When performing a caluculation... ALL fields within a calculation must have the option to "calculate on exit" selected (not just the field that holds the calculation).
