This may give you an idea about how to go about it:

' a Macro to calculate the elapsed time for formfields with Date format of
HH:mm

'

Start = ActiveDocument.FormFields("Text1").Result

StartHour = Val(Left(Start, 2))

StartMinutes = Val(Right(Start, 2))

StartTimeMinutes = StartHour * 60 + StartMinutes

Finish = ActiveDocument.FormFields("Text2").Result

FinishHour = Val(Left(Finish, 2))

FinishMinutes = Val(Right(Finish, 2))

FinishTimeMinutes = FinishHour * 60 + FinishMinutes

ElapsedMinutes = FinishTimeMinutes - StartTimeMinutes

ElapsedHours = Int(ElapsedMinutes / 60)

ElapsedMinutes = ElapsedMinutes - ElapsedHours * 60

ActiveDocument.FormFields("Text3").Result = Str(ElapsedHours) & ":" &
Format(ElapsedMinutes, "00")
