Who in the world would know to look there? Typing "formfield" or

lifesaver! Thank God for the newsgroups and you!

Hi Mary,

Formfields are found under 'Legacy Tools' on the Controls Tab on the
Developer Ribbon. After inserting a text formfield via the 'Legacy
Tools' collection, you'd need to right-click the formfield to access
its properties.

Thanks for your response. I'm using Word 2007, and I don't see
anywhere to insert a formfield. I only way I saw to insert my sum
was to click the down arrow next to Quick Parts (on the Insert tab)
and choose Field. Then I clicked Formula and entered the sum, and
there's no option to Calculate on Exit. Am I missing something?

Hi Mary,

Only if your source cells are being updated by way of formfields
and the: .. formfield properties are set to 'calculate on exit';
and .. document is protected for forms.

I have 5 rows in my table column. In the last cell I have the
formula "sum(F1:F4)". I know I can update the sum field by
pressing F9, but is there a way to set it so it will update
whenever a number is entered in one of the first 4 cells?
