Miscalculation

[Linda George]

I am using a calculation in a table with form fields and I am no
getting the correct answer. I just want to add three cells together t
get a grand total.

"Subtotal" is a calculation field that sums the total above usin
=SUM(ABOVE).

"Tax" is a user entered number (no calculation)

"SH" is a user entered number (no calculation)

When I put in a calculation for the grand total field for the total o
all the above =(Subtotal)+(Tax)+(SH) the subtotal amount is entere
twice. It must be a logical error, but I don't see where I have aske
the subtotal to enter into the equation twice.
Can anyone help?
Thank you.

This is a bug in Word. In a formfield calculation, you cannot use as an
input to the calculation another formfield that itself if the result of a
calculation. For workarounds, see the Knowledge Base Article at:
