Word 2003 Form Fields
Greetings,
I am using Word Form fields in a Word 2003 document. One Calculation Form Field adds several form fields for a total. My user wants a solution, possibly a check box, so that when the box is checked, the Total in the Calculation Form Field is reduced by half. If the box is not checked, the full total will display. The solution cannot be a macro because of firm policies. Does anyone have any creative ideas (non-macro) about how this could be accomplished. Thanks in advance. |

Word 2003 Form Fields
You CANNOT do it WITHOUT using a Macro. Who ever it was in the firm that
said macros cannot be used needs the riot act read to them. Well designed macros in Templates that are stored in the User or WorkGroup Template folder are not detrimental to the operation of Word. They may as well give you typewriters instead of computers if they are not going to let you used the many of the capabilities of the software. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
