Hi Jennifer,

In your 'total' row, press Ctrl-F9 to create a pair of field braces '{ }'

Between the field braces type '=SUM(A1:A10)', where 'A' represents the
column (as in Excel) and the 1 & 10 represent the first and last rows to be
added (as in Excel), so that your field looks like:
{=SUM(A1:A10)}

Then press F9 to update.

Cheers

I'm trying to add up a column in a word table. There are blank cells in
the
column and the autosum will not add up correctly unless there is a
numerical
figure in all cells. I don't want to put a zero in the blank cells.

is there a way to still use autosum with blank cells?

(I don't want to use Excel either)
