A Word document saved as a Form - the cursor skips the cell conta.

[MoiraL]

I have created a document in Word that is saved as a Form for others to
complete certain cells in a table. In one of the cells I have a formula that
calculates the product of cells B1 and B2. It works well when saved as a
normal word document, but once saved as a Form the cursor skips the cell
containing the caluclation formula.

That is because it is a calculated field and you aren't supposed to enter
anything manually so it skips the field. What you need to do is to
unprotect your form, double-click the field before it, click the "Calculate
on exit" checkbox, click "OK", reprotect your form, save it, and try again.
