I have a form that I use to calculate expenses for trips. I have to manually update the totals. Is there a way Word 2000 can automatically update this field?

What sort of a form?
Updating fields is simple enough, switch to print preview and back, or use
the update code at http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm .

If this is an on-line form with form fields inserted from the forms toolbar
and locked, then check the calculate on exit check box in the last field. If
that doesn't update the calculation, run the macro suggested in my previous
post on exit from the field.
In an ordinary document, the fields do not update automatically. You must
update them. The update macro added to a toolbar is a simple workaround.

In a form, the "Calculate on exit" box needs to be checked for every form
field that contributes to the calculation.

Only if you want to recalculate at every field entry. The last field will do
otherwise.
