SUM values of drop down lists in Word 2010

[gmaxey]

What do you mean by "3 quick part drop downs." What is a "quick part dropdown?" Paul's solution is robust and works well. The only drawback is that the calculation/update will not occur unless the user exits the dropdown control after making the selection. Since you can't guarantee a cooperative document user you are left with the possibility of an inaccurate result or writing more code to ensure the calculation/update occurs before printing or saving.


The method I suggested, while seemingly more complex, will update automatically when the user makes a new selection.

I put a working example (employee evaluation) in a public dropbox: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...xample%29.docm
