The only really satisfactory way to do this and ensure that the calculation
updated automatically would be with form fields. Assuming a form field in the quantity cell called Text1, you could insert a calculated field in the document where you want ea to display as follows {IF {Text1} 1 "ea." ""} check the calculate in exit check box of the form field and lock the form. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Jackie010 wrote: I want one column (LBS1) to recognize if another column (QTY1) is greater than 1......if so then enter "ea." in LBS1 column.

It *might* make a difference whether Text1 is designated a text or number
field. Oh, and did you check "Calculate on exit" in the Form Field Options for Text1. And Tab out of it (you have to tab to exit, not just click somewhere else). -- Suzanne S.

Formula to enter text
it seems to me that you're telling me to do things in 2 different windows.
"Form Field" comes up in a small window and there I can click "calculate on exit". got that. but I have to work directly on the doc to use the F9 key and tab out like you're telling me to do. which way should I be entering the formula?

The field you need is { IF { Text1 } 1 "ea" "" }
You need a space either side of and between 1 and "ea" and between "ea" and "" In other places they are optional and would be ignored. Does the formfield into which the number is being inserted have the bookmark name of Text1? If, you will need to change the name in the formula to suit. -- Hope this helps.
