Calculation in Word ?

[Dyno]

I have a document that needs to print out different choices based on the
weight of the client, is it possible to make microdoft word do such a thing
..

Example , person weight / 3.6 = the dosage that I want to print out in a
specific area

Mr. Thompson based on the weight at your last visit we are recommending
that you take ( result of above calculation ) drops every day .

Thanks in advance

Hi Dyno,

weight of the client, is it possible to make microdoft word do such a thing

Yes, Word can do calculations. One possibility is to use fields for the
calculations. Put numbers in a table, then use the Table/Formula command to
see an example of this; it can be much more complex...

The other is to do the calculations using programming code, then put the
result into the document.

If you need more help with this, you have to give us some background. For
instance, the version of Word you're targeting and what your programming
background is.
