Hello. Word 2003.
Does anyone have a simple example of 'Run Macro on' and 'Calculate on exit' working for Word form fields?
I seem to recall that there used to be a problem with these features working - a bug perhaps; but maybe this
was in an earlier version of Word?
On a simliar note, what does 'Fill-in enabled' mean? Thanks, Andy.

Re: Form Fields and code
As far as I know, these features have been working correctly in all recent versions of Word.
If 'Calculate on exit' is ticked, any references to the bookmark name of the formfield will be updated automatically when the user tabs or clicks out of the form field.
If "Fill-in enabled' is ticked (the default), the user can edit the formfield (when the document is protected for forms); if it is not ticked, the formfield is locked, i.e. it cannot be edited.
