Default Division Function in Word Table

Yes, it is possible. The syntax you used is correct - in this situation, you
could also leave out the parenthesis:
{ =C3/B3 }
using your cell references.

Did you update the field? Are you sure you are referring to the correct
cells? The result would be 0 if C3 is empty or contains a 0.

Is it possible to do a division funciton in a Word table and if so, how? We
tried enter the cell references (first column is A, first row is 1, etc) and
entering the formula like this: =(C3/b3) but the result is 0, though there
are numbers in both cells.

Any suggestions? Thanks.
