Attached is a document I've created to show how to do various mathematical calculations using Word fields, including some possibilities for string testing & manipulation. Topics covered include:

• Formula Field Syntax
• Formula Field Arithmetic Operators
• Formula Field Comparison Operators
• Formula Field Functions
• Formula Field Logical Functions
. AND And OR: Testing Multiple Logical Numeric Expressions
. Testing Negative Numbers
. Testing Or Returning Text Strings With Logical Functions In Bookmarks
• Calculations In Word Forms
• Referencing Cells In A Table
. Identifying Cell Addresses
. Referencing Cells Containing Numbers
. Referencing Cells Containing Text
. Reference Operators
. Referencing An Entire Row Or Column
. Referencing Adjacent Cells In A Row Or Column
. Relative Referencing In Tables
. Testing Or Returning Cell Contents In Tables
. Reference Table Cells From Outside The Table
. Referencing Row And Column Totals From Outside A Table
• Formatting Numeric Field Results
• Rounding Numbers To The Nearest Multiple
• Rounding Numbers Up Or Down
• Superscripted Ordinal Numbers
• Parsing Numbers Separated By + Or - Signs
• Scientific Notation


• Logarithms
• Trigonometry
• Financial Calculations

Enjoy

Note: Any discussions should be made in a new thread - they cannot be added to this one.
