Default Calcuation fields in Tables

HI, need to tap on your expertise for a second. Word 2003 Form.

€¢ Have two columns of dollar amounts in a Word Table. These are each
bookmarked with an unique name from within the form field properties dialog
box.

€¢ Each column ends with a calculation field summing the total of the column
(done referencing each of the unique bookmarks above. The first column
summary field is bookmarked as "ASSETS" and the second as "DEBITS". These
bookmarks were assigned to the cell since the Word field edit box does not
have a place to assign a bookmark to the field.

€¢ Then there is a Networth calculation field (ASSETS-DEBITS) which should be
calculated each time ASSETS or DEBITS is changed.

How do I get the NETworth field to (re)calcuate the ASSETS-DEBITS amount
each time any of the amount in the table changes since the Word Field
(Formula field) edit box does not have a calculate on exit toggle as the form
fields do?
(As the user tabs through the form filling in the amounts, the column Sum
fields work great but the Networth fields does no calculations at all since
the tabbing bypasses these calculation fields completely?)

Thanks Jack
