Please Help -Adjusting numbers/values in content control form

[tonayie]

Please please help. I'm a complete newbie, and sadly I've been working on this all week and my deadline draws nearer.

I'm using word 2010. I have a content control on my form where users are supposed to enter a number. I can make it by drop-down or by text control, it doesn't matter. But I what I really need is a way, preferably by macro, to adjust the value that user has inputted by 2. And have this value replace that user inputted value. That's all it is.

Please someone, anyone

Seems this would drive the user mad!

You need to capture the control exit event and then modify the text.

Thank you very much for the reply, but i'm not sure this is what i'm looking for. I'm looking to make a macro that i can execute at will, not one that fires on exit.

my list form looks like:
56
58
60
62
64
66
68
70
72
...
and on and on. I just need a macro that can change the selected value instantly - by only one increment, lest i repeat this upwards of 50 times a session. now that drives me insane.
