Hi NFL,
Beware of trying to reference a formfield calculation in a subsequent formfield. The results are unlikely to be what you'd expect.

Thank you for your help! It worked? :-)

Select Calculation as the Type in the Text Form Field Options dialog, then
create your formula in the Expression box following the same rules as for an
= field in ordinary text (in your example, it would be "= Text1 * Text2").
Be sure to check the box for "Calculate on exit" in the Form Field Options
for each form field that contributes to the calculation so that the
calculated field will update automatically.

MS Word 2003 - I'm in the "Text Form Field Options" dialog box and would
like
to know how to calculate two form fields (texboxes) and pass the value to
the
third form field?. For example: textbox1 * textbox2 = textbox3
Also, is there a limit of how many form fields I can calculate?
Thank you,
.
