Calculate numbers in comments

Is it possible to calculate numbers that is added to a documents using comments?

Like if i for instance add two comments to a document with the numbers 5 and 10. I would like the total value 15 presented in some way.

I need this function to be able to make a time estime on how much time is needed to rewrite sections in a larger document.

It's possible, but not so simple. Why not use form fields?

Also, where do you want the result to appear?

Thanks for the reply!

In my field of work i often send out large documents for shared review.

When i get them back they can contain hundreds of comments. Everything from small errors to big errors is covered in these reiviews.

So i would like to add a reply to each comment with info on how many hours is needed to fix each issue in the comments.

I am open for other suggestions if i can handle this in any other way.

So you want to then add up the numbers in your replies and show them in a field, for example?
