Macropod,
I have saved the bookmark to your "tutorial" so that I can look at it in the
future if needed. In this project I have got it completed and it works very
well - thank you for your assistance.

Hi Paul,

Roots are no more difficult than other powers. A square root is simply n^1/2
(or n^0.5), whilst a cube root is n^1/3, and so on. For more information on
this and a wide range of other calculations in Word, check out my Word Field
Maths 'tutorial', at:

Cheers

The Carat symbol is suposed to be used for roots and powers and using it
to
get squares is not a problem 9^2 = 81 but what is the format for square
root?
I am using Wood 2000 and I am taking input from one table and using it to
calculate values for a printed table. I was having little difficulty until
I
tried to produce the square root of a number fo a calculation. I have
tried
the help, the assistant and looked through all of the help in "Tables" and
"Programming" for Word here. I can't believe that this can be so
difficult. I
am sure that I am overlooking something relatively easy because it is
listed
in the mathmatical and relational operators but there is no description of
the syntax for its use.
