Whenever you press Tab to move between fields, and you leave a field used in a calculation, Word recalculates all the fields in the form. Repeat steps 2 through 6 for each of the other fields used in your calculations.Make sure the Calculate on Exit check box is selected.Word displays the Options dialog box for the field. Click on the Properties tool in the Controls group.Make sure the Developer tab of the ribbon is displayed.
Select a form field used in a calculation.Unprotect your form so that you can change the options for each field.Finally, click in the document immediately after the two text form fields that you entered, type a few spaces and then click Insert>Bookmark. If you use form fields frequently see my: Add Classic Form Controls.
What if you don't want to wait until printing in order to view the results?įortunately, Word provides a way you can do this. In Word 2007/2010 the form field controls are at Developer tab>Controls>Legacy Forms. I have tried on different computers, but same problem. This seem odd to me, and I cannot find any explanation. (I'm talking about legacy form fields here.) When you print your form, Word updates the fields so that the results of the calculations are displayed in the form. I open the form again (in word) to test the form, then I am able to write in the first text fields, but after checking the first check boxed I am unable to write in any text fields - not even in those I already filled in. To add text fields to your Word document, follow the steps below. In other WordTips you've learned how you can set up your form fields so that they perform calculations and display the results.
