Calculate on Exit Doesn't work

Question

I'm using Microsoft Word 2013 (Home and Student).

I am currently trying to create a fillable table in a fillable form that would add up expenses like an excel spreadsheet while making things like the header uneditable. I asked this question once before and had no answers, and before I could update my question Microsoft locked the question thread.

I searched aimlessly on the internet for months, until I stumbled upon the Calculate on Exit function on another question thread (shocker, that one was locked too).

After manually adding the Form Field command into my Develop tools, I followed the tutorial (Making the "Type" Number for the field that need to be calculated and Calculate for the field that was doing the totaling, blah blah blah - here's the tutorial: https://www.middlesex.mass.edu/KB/Articles/Public/169/ ), but every time I tab out of the fields (Before AND after protecting/making the document uneditable) it won't work. Is there additional coding I'm missing?

EDIT (11/27/22): I did a small test and found that every time I enter a value the Form Field settings completely go away, as if the function was never put there in the first place. Not sure why this is happening.

Answer 1

Have you protected the document for forms?
