Default Logical tests between Word form text fields

I have a Drop-Down form field with "Yes" and "No". I want to place the value
4 in a Text form field in the same document if the user selects "Yes" in the
Drop-Down field. I set the Text form field to type "Calculation" but can not
figure out the formula to use that doesn't return a Syntax error or
"Undefined Bookmark, Yes". While I have Word 2007, I need to create this
form for users with 2003 and so am using Legacy form fields.

Default Logical tests between Word form text fields

Hi jstern,

Instead of using a calculation formfield, I'd suggest an ordinary formula field, coded as:
{IF{REF Dropdown1}= "Yes" "4"}
or
{IF{REF Dropdown1}= "Yes" "4" "0"}
where 'Dropdown1' is the Dropdown's bookmark name and '0' is the alternate value to display.
