I am using Word 2007 and have a form with "Filling in forms" protection.

I have a formula field: {[FormText { =Round(Price/0.5, 2)}}] that shows like this: 100.00. The [] brackets indicate a bookmark named Pmt.

Another form field: { =Pmt \# "0.00" } shows 100100.00 which is a problem. If my first field shows 100.00 then why does the second show 100100.00 and what can I do to fix the problem.

Probably you are picking up both the formatted and unformatted figures because your bookmark spans the entire form field.

Instead try to use the built-in bookmark functionality of a form field:

  • Huh?!? That's weird but I can't think of a better explanation. Anyway I tried your idea (deleted the bookmark and entered the bookmark in the form field) and got the same thing. Then I did it the other way around: deleted the bookmark and recreated it by simply selecting the form field and clicking Bookmark > Add Bookmark and then it worked.
