working with equations in Word

[Guest]

I have two fields that are merged into word via a 3rd party program.

Both are numbers. I want to have a spot in the document that adds them
together like you would do in excel. Is this possible?

Example of the document:
Your first loan is {MERGEFIELD_loan1} and your second loan is
{MERGEFILED_loan2}. Your combined loan amount will equal X (loan1 + loan2).

Result:
Your first loan is $100,000 and your second loan is $50,000. Your combined
loan amount will equal $150,000.

Use the following field construction where you want to get the total of the
loans

{ = {MERGEFIELD loan1} + {MERGEFIELD loan2}}
