Sum calculation

[Chris Stammers]

Hello,

I am using Word 2000, and I have a protected document that I use as a cheque
requisition form. I would like the total box at the bottom to auto sum the
amounts being entered in the boxes above without having to right click on it,
and click on 'Update Field'. It always used to work like this, but when I
unprotected it once to change the year, it has never worked since. Can this
be done and if so, how?

Many thanks,
Chris

Chris,

Unprotect and toogle each variable formfield and ensure "Calculate of
exit" is checked. Then reprotect the document.
