Following the instructions that I found, I wanted to get an approximate word count (rounded to 100), so I put in the suggested formula,
Code:
Approximately {=ROUND({NUMWORDS},-2) \# ,0,} words
but when I toggle the field codes, I get
Code:
Approximately!Syntax Error, {words
I am using Office 365.
Various attempts including the very detailed document on expressions in Word (
Word Field Maths V1_5.doc) did not clarify this problem.
So I went back and just replaced the field. I selected the format #,##0, as a number, and got
Code:
NUMWORDS \# "#,##0" \* Arabic \* MERGEFORMAT
and got
Code:
Approximately 3107 words
instead of the expected
Code:
Approximately 3,107 words
