Hi,

I have a document which uses tokens from our system we have 3 tokens
"charge", "tax1" , "tax2" i need to be able do a calculation of charge - tax1
-tax2 and put the result on the document.
There is no token available to do this in our system so word will have to do
the calc.

{ = { MERGEFIELD charge } - { MERGEFIELD tax1 } - { MERGEFIELD tax2 } }

You must use Ctrl + F9 for each pair of field delimiters { }
