Hi mkraft,
You didn't need to navigate a tutorial - all you needed to do was to use Word's Help file. The tutorial I referred you to is aimed
at those who need to go well beyond the basics.

In addition to the helpful suggestions provided by Suzanne and Jay, you
might like to check out my Word Field Maths 'tutorial', at:
http://www.wopr.com/cgi-bin/w3t/show...?Number=365442
or
http://www.gmayor.com/downloads.htm#Third_party
In particular, look at the item titled 'Formatting Numeric Field Results'.
Thanks, I wonder, though, what percentage of Word users would agree that it
should be necessary to navigate such tutorials in order to do the simple
things I inquired about.
