I want to multiply and add automatically in a form field in word
I want to type an amount in a form field. The next form field must
automatically multiply this amount. The last form field must add field 1 and field 2's data. This must happen of a form I've designed in Word |

Hi KobusR,
You don't need formfields for the calclations - just formula fields. Suppose the formfield into which you insert the number is named 'Text1' and its properties are set to 'calculate on exit'. In that case you can use a formula field coded as: {=Text1*0.1 \# $,0.00} to calculate 10% of the formfield's value, and {=Text1*1.1 \# $,0.00} to calculate 110% of the formfield's value - which is the same as summing the formfield's value and the 1st calculation's result. Note: The field brace pairs (ie '{ }') for the above example are created via Ctrl-F9 - you can't simply type them or copy & paste them from this message. I advise you not to try to use a formfield to do the calculations the way you've described. When you use the result of a given formfield's calculation in another formfield, the results in the dependent formfield are unreliable. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "KobusR" wrote in message ...

Assume that the form field is Text1, set the type to number with a dollar
format and check calculate on exit check box Set the two extra form fields as type Calculated and the calculations in the field properties are =Text1 * .14 and =Text1 * 1.14 -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org KobusR wrote: Eg.
