Right click the menu and click customize. Drag the
Calculate icon off the
menu and drop it in the document.

For your form requirement see:
You should get a good start here and the linked articles
by Dian Chapman:

http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customizat...linTheBlanks.h
tm

That link will show you how to set up forms.

Your basic calculation is:

A1 B1 C1
5 $2.00 {=(a1*b1)}

The field code braces { } are entered with CTRL+F9.
Toggle the field code
to display the result with ALT+F9. When a change is
made, you can update
the field by selecting the field and pressing F9, or
update all fields by
pressing CTRL+a (selects all) and pressing F9, toggling
to and from print
preview (if "Update Fields" is checked in the
FilePrintOptions dialog
box), or running a macro something like:

Sub UpdateFields()
Dim oStory As Range
For Each oStory In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges
oStory.Fields.Update
If oStory.StoryType wdMainTextStory Then
While Not (oStory.NextStoryRange Is Nothing)
Set oStory = oStory.NextStoryRange
oStory.Fields.Update
Wend
End If
Next oStory
Set oStory = Nothing
End Sub

Terry,
After 3 tries I got the ToolsCalculate into the Tools
menu. Nothin. (P.S. How do I remove it from the
toolbar
where it now resides twice?)

What I'm trying to do is create a blank purchase
requisition form where in one cell you can put the
quantity; in the next cell to the right the price per
each; and have the next cell to the right give the
total.
