Hi Trudy,
Word does maths vie formula fields, which you can create via Ctrl-F9 to create a pair of field braces (ie '{}'). You then type the
formula between these field braces (eg '{=C3/B3}'), then press F9 when you're done.
For more information on this and how to do a wide range of other calculations in Word, check out my Word Field Maths Tutorial, at:

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.
