Calculations in a word table
To sum the values in a row, you can use the { = SUM(LEFT) } field in
the cell on the far right. Similarly, to sum the values in a column,
use { = SUM(ABOVE) } in the bottom cell of that column.
To enter the above formulas, type them in the Formula dialog box, or
insert them into the cells directly using Ctrl+F9 to add the field
delimiters, { }.
Use F9 to update fields. If necessary, press Alt+F9 to show/hide field
codes.
Note that cells which are empty may cause trouble with the SUM
function; make sure to type 0 (zero) instead of leaving cells blank.

Use Table | Formula. In the formula you are creating, use Excel-like
notation for referring to individual cells; in other words: A, B, C,
... refers to the columns and 1, 2, 3, ... to the rows.
Note that the Table | Formula command inserts a = (formula) field
which you can insert manually (by pressing Ctrl+F9).
To edit a formula field, just press Alt+F9, change the codes by
typing, press F9 to update, and then press Alt+F9 again to hide
field
codes.

I cannot find where to enter and where to update calculations in a
word
table. Specifically I want to total specific cells in a row and
place it at
the end of that row. Next I want to do the same for columns.
