= SUMMARY =

If a document has an expression with numbers formatted as hidden text and the numbers are not visible, Word calculates the expression, ignoring the hidden numbers. If the numbers are visible, then they are included in the calculated expression.

This happens because the calculate function does not pay attention to formatting; only the numbers that can be seen on the screen are included in the calculation.
