Need to calculate on a merge field

Me again. In Word 2002 and 2003 I was able to use the
result in another automatic calculation by naming the
first result as a book mark (a set field) and then
referencing that field (ref) in a later calculation. ie
{SetTotal { = { MERGEFIELD "AMTOWED" } * .25 }} then
{Ref Total} will bring in the result from amtowed????

You are right, this will work so long as you are not
using the result in
further automatic calculations.

You could use a mask rather than rounding to set a
dollar amount eg
{ = { MERGEFIELD "AMTOWED" } * .25 \# ",$0.00 }

You may need to use the Round function to keep your
amounts to two
decimal places. Field braces {} are inserted using
Ctrl-F9 not by
ordinary typing.

I'm bringing in records from a medical management
database. I need to be able to calculate and offer
a 25%
discount on the amount owed value (which is brought
in
from that database). Is it possible to set
something
like this up? Thanks for your help.

Word 2000.
