This must be an improvement with W2003. W2000 stops at an empty cell -- rows
above that are ignored.

Apparently Word is able to get a correct sum even with empty cells in the
range in Word 2003. I was surprised to note this in my invoice form;
normally I delete the unused rows, but I was keeping them open to keep a
running total for a client for whom I had not set up an account.

You could put zero in the cells and format them as hidden. Word's table
calculations are minimal at best.

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)
