Default form field auto calculate

I'm having some problems with my form fields. I want a form field to
calculate the total from 4 other form fields. I have my equation set as
=Text41+Text42...etc. And the totaling works, only when you select the form
and hit F9.

I want to make this field update the totals automatically, whether the
document is locked or unlocked. However, I'm not sure what macro to use. I
tried setting it on Run Macro on (in the editing of the form field) both
entry and exit or just one or the other. The macro I used was update fields.
Then I tried Calculate on Exit instead of Macros. However I tried I could not
get the field to update automatically. Is there a way to do this on Word
alone? Or is this asking too much from Word? If so could someone please tell
me how?

Thank you!
