Calculated Form Field Option that sum other form fields
Say you have three fields. Two for inputs and one for the sum.
Double click the first two, set type to number, check calculate on exit, note the bookmark names (which will be text1 and text2 by default). Double click the third field and set type to calculation. In the expression window type: =text1+text2 Protect the document and Bob's your uncle. -- Greg Maxey/Word MVP See: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tips.htm For some helpful tips using Word.

You don't actually need a form field for the calculation. A Word formula
field will work just as well eg {={Text1} + {Text2} \# "$,0.00"} Check the calculate on exit property of both Text1 and Text2. The formatting switch is optional. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org DDTexan wrote: How do you create a calculated form field option that sum the input data of other form fields? |
