Calculation against an imported XML value/tag.

[Guest]

I have a word template that has XML tags that import information form Small
Business Accounting.

Does anyone know how to do a calulation on this imported value. (Its a tax
field that I need to break out into the two different taxes - state and fed.)

Please help

Yes. Use a "Formula" field. {={field 1} * {field 2}}

Look up "Fields" and "formula field" in the Word help for more information.

Cheers
