TotalField

I have a form with 2 Text form fields, the Type is Number & a default of
0.00. I want to create a field that totals the values entered in these
fields. I created a field with =(formula), in the field codes box I entered
"=Text1+text2" I only works after I save the document, close Word, when I
reopen the doc, I total is there, if I enter 5 in "text1, should my "total"
field be populated with 5, then when I enter 5 in "Text2 should my "total"
field be populated with 10? Can someone please help??

Thanks

Make sure you check the "Calculate on Exit" options of the Text1 and/or
Text2 fields (From "Field property" dialogue).
