Default autosum

Table | Formula allows you to type the contents of the field; if you want to
insert the field manually, you can use Insert | Field, or you can press
Ctrl+F9 to insert the field braces and then type the text between them.

I just typed it in the field. I subsequently found an ability to insert

it
somewhere in the Table Tools menu, I believe in Layout.

Did you type this in the Table | Formula dialog? Or did you insert it as

a
field, after pressing Ctrl+F9?

This didn't work for me. It just put in the character string

=sum(C2,C8)
but
didn't add the values.

Yes. You can use =sum(above).

If you want to sum different cells in a column, then you have to

treat
the
table similar to excel column heading. For example, if I have three

columns
and three rows, Then I will assume similar to excel and type :

=sum(A1,C3).
This will give you sum total of cell A1+C3. You tables in Word is

similar to
Excel column heading.

Is there an autosum feature in Word 2007, similar to the "sigma"

in
Word 2003?
