Hi,
Is it possible to update the field formula automatically instead of doing Ctrl-A then F9? -- Shawn Toh (tohlz) Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP PowerPoint) Site Updated: April 13, 2006 Added new portfolio http://pptheaven.mvps.org PowerPoint Heaven - The Power to Animate |

Hi Shawn,
You will have to create an autonew macro in your template. See here for an example: http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm Or you can use a protected form and use the calculate on exit in the field dialog box. -- Luc Sanders (MVP - PowerPoint) "tohlz" pptheaven[AT]gmail[DOT]com schreef in bericht ...

Uhm... I think I've missed something. Which field? In online forms you can
set the source fields to calculate on exit so that calculation fields based on them will be immediately updated. What I am talking about is what Word calls an "online form." Check this in help. For more about online forms, follow the links at http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm especially Dian Chapman's series of articles. You may also want to look at http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFl...nesInForms.htm.
