Default Word Formula using IF

Jay:

Thank you so much, this is exactly what I was looking for. It works great!
I was on your site today looking for this, but was not able to figure it out.
Thank you very much.

I have a small table with 4 or 5 fields that calculate based on the
first fields value. However, I need one field to calculate based on
an IF function.

I know how to write it in excel:
=IF(SUM(H9*15%)1500,SUM(H9*15%),1500)

but how do I write something like this in Word? I need to write a
formula that can calculate 15% of the value in cell D1. If it is
greater that 1,500, place the calculated value in this field, if it
is not greater than 1,500, place 1,500 in this field.

Please Help


Using Ctrl+F9 to insert each matched pair of field braces, use this syntax:

{IF {=(H9*15%)} 1500 {=(H9*15%)} 1500}
