Auto Updating a Field

[lumpy2497]

I have created a table in a word document where a formula field will sum the numbers above it (=sum(above)).

Is there an easy, foolproof way to create a button so that the end user of the document can click and have it update the sum field seeing that the document doesn't automatically update it. It is the only field that needs to be updated.

I am using Word 2010.

Thanks a bunch!!

When you add the formula you are using a Form Field so the user could use the right mouse button and select Update Field from the right mouse button, or click inside and Press F9 each of these options could be recorded as a macro and that will then allow you to add a button to click and it updates.
