Is there a way to insert a field that will form a formula

I'm modernizing my construction contract and I'm wondering if there's a way to insert a field that starts the basis for ensuing formulas.

 

So I want to type in $100,000 in my contract amount, and then in The next paragraph I want to have five payments with various percentages Automatically calculate to total the $100,000

    Gabe_Skinner I would have a Content Control into which you insert the amount ($100,000) and then use the ContentControlOnExit event to set the values of a series of document variables to the required percentage amounts and have those amounts appear in the document by the use of DOCVARIABLE fields.

    Post back if you need more assistance.
