I'd like to use content control fields as the I want to have them fill in 3 variables in an equation and then calculate a result. I have a Word 2007 form that our technicians will fill in (it has content control fields) from a mobile computer. "Sheryl Millsap" wrote in message news:*** Email address is removed for privacy ***. Then where you want the result of the calculation to be displayed, you can use an equation field will give the produce of the two numbers that are entered into (what were) the Author and Keywords Content Controls.Īs mentioned, the disadvantage of this method is that the result is not automatically updated as the data is entered. You can change the title of the Content Control to something that isĪppropriate for the data that is to be entered and probably you will want to give it an initial value - maybe 0. Of the fact that if you insert any of the 15 Document Properties that can be inserted by clicking on Quick Parts in the Insert menu, it is inserted into the document as a Content Control. There is a quick and dirty way of doing it with Content Controls, but it has the disadvantage of not automatically updating the display of the result which would need to be done by updating the field in which the result is calculated. The disadvantage however is that there are some restrictions placed on The advantage of this method is that for each of the input FormFields, you can set its Calculate on Exit attribute so that the result is automatically displayed in the result field. You can type in the Formula box, select a number.
Use the Formula dialog box to create your formula.
On the Table Tools, Layout tab, in the Data group, click Formula. If the cell is not empty, delete its contents. If you can live with the document being protected for filling in forms, you could use the legacy Text FormFields to gather the date and also use a Calculation Type Text FormField to display the result of the calculation. Select the table cell where you want your result.
