I'm Putting together a form for a pre-paid contract and I don't know how to format the fields.
 
Example:
 
Total Charges = $1,000.00 = 100% of contract
 
Funeral Home Charges = $750.00 = 75% of contract
 
Cash Advance Charges = $250.00 = 25% of contract
 
How do I format the fields so I can enter the total charges, Funeral home charges, and cash advance charges then have the percentages fill in themselves?

Set the percentage fields to be formatted as such, and then in the calculation section, enter the name of the field they represent, divided by the total amount.
If you don't have spaces in the fields' names, then you can use the "Simplified field notation", like this:

TotalCharges / 1000
(the result will be 100%)

FuneralHomeCharges / 1000
(the result will be 75%)

CashAdvanceCharges / 1000
(the result will be 25%)
