I would like to 1) know how this bookmarking works without causing errors in
the formula. 2) Also I would like to know how to show the calculations to
the user as he fills out the form.

I'll take a stab in the dark...

'tRows = Total number of rows in table.
tRows = Monthly.Tables(5).Rows.Count

'Set range to desired cell
Set CurCell = Monthly.Tables(5).Cell(tRows, 3)

'Insert formula
CurCell.Formula Formula:="=SUM(above) \# ###0.0"

Hi Sheila,

You mention the filling in of a form, so I'll assume you're using a
formfield. In that case, all you need to do to set a bookmark for the
formfield and to make any dependent calculations update automatically is to:
1) Right-click on the formfield and select 'properties';
2) Check the 'calculate on exit' box; and
3) If you need to use the formfield's value outside a table, give it an
appropriate bookmark name instead of the default Word one (typically Text1,
Text2 etc).

Then, create the formula field that does the calculations.

Once that's done, simply protect the document for forms. from then on,
entering a value into the formfield then tabbing out of it will update the
calculation.

Cheers
