Thank You, macropod!

And especially for the 'note' part.

I have done the following:

Opened Document
Unprotected Document
Clicked Table, Insert Formula
In Formula Field typed "=MAX({=D19*D21},150)" (without the quotation
marks)
In the Format Field, selected "$#,##0.00;($#,##0.00)" (without the
quotation marks)
Clicked Ok

Received: "!Syntax Error, {" (without the quotation marks)

I gave elementary steps I know, please know I am not questioning your
intelligence but more so questioning my own with this process. Would
you mind correcting me on where I went wrong?

I greatly appreciate your help, macropod.

Hi Stacy ,

In Excel, you could do also use:
=MAX(D19*D21,150)

In Word, you could use a formula field (rather than a calculation formfield) coded as:
{=MAX({=D19*D21},150)}

Note: The field brace pairs (ie '{ }') for the above example are created via Ctrl-F9 - you can't simply type them or copy & paste
them from this message.

Greetings,

I have a table in Word 2003 and would like to do an “IF” statement on
a Text Form Field, type - Calculation.

The problem is: *If CellA multiplied by CellB is $150 or less, the
answer is $150; otherwise the answer is the result of CellA multiplied
by CellB.

The expression would be this in Excel 2003: *=IF(SUM(D19*D21)
150,150,SUM(D19*D21))

The expression would be this in Word 2003: **stumped*

I do not have the luxury of keeping Excel 2003 in the picture for this
document.

I have done Google searches for “IF” statements, formulas,
calculations, etc. *And all “IF” calculations for Word 2003 lead me
to:

Anyone looking for a great tutorial should download MVP Macropods.
This person has amazing talent, simply an incredible tutorial . *The
thoroughness of the project is remarkable.

Even though I found great resources and fantastic advice, I still come
up short on a valid Form Field Expression for this problem.

I have an example Word.doc if that would help, I do not mind emailing
it if that would be more helpful. *Any help solving this dilemma is
greatly appreciated.
