Using Calculations in Forms

OfficeReady Professional 4.0 contains various Word Business Form templates that automatically calculate results based on your the information you enter.

How to Calculate the results

1. Enter the appropriate values for each cell within the template.
2. Click the Calculate all Fields button on the OfficeReady 4.0 Toolbar to calculate the results based on your the information you have entered.

Note: Not all OfficeReady 4.0 templates contain formulas that can be automatically calculated.

Basic Business Forms - Troubleshooting

Problem: I print a form, such as the Invoice form, and I get 0.00 in the Amount column even though I have not entered any value for the item or amount.

Solution: The cells that display 0.00 contain formulas. To make the form neater for printing, delete the zeros by deleting unused formulas. Select the cell or cells containing extra zeros (for example, unused cells of an invoice form) and press the delete key. The formulas will be erased. You can save this form for back up purposes, but you should not use it again for a new invoice. Simply reload the original template.

Problem: I change the numbers in a form, but the calculated amounts are incorrect and do not reflect the changes that I made.

Solution: You must recalculate a form whenever you change any of the numbers in a form. Click the calculate button to recalculate the form.
