I have a Word form document with several text fields (type = numeric). I also
have a total underneath (text field, type = calculated). I have tried both
=sum(above) and cell address references but once my form is locked and I
enter numbers in the numeric fields, I cannot get the total to update. F9 or
right click does not work. Calculate on exit is checked. Anyone got a
solution? Word 2002/2003

Thank you!

You must make sure that "Calculate on exit" is checked for each of the form
fields that contributes to the calculation.
