How to create calculated fields in Word

[Gooford]

Hi,

I know how to do this in Access but for some reason I can't this to work in Word

I have created a simple form with [Number1] and [Number2]

I have created a [Total] field and selected Type as 'Calculation' and written the expression as =Number2-Number1 with the text as #,##0

The result remains as 0 - I'm not sure what I am doing wrong

Any help much appreciated

Hi Gooford,

You can use a formula field coded as:
{=Number1+Number2 \# ",0"}

Note: The field brace pairs (ie '{ }') for the above example are created via Ctrl-F9 - you can't simply type them or copy & paste them from this message. Also, with your Number1 & Number2 formfields, make sure their 'calculate on exit' property is checked.
