No, he's thinking of Tools | Calculate, as suggested by a previous poster
(see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/ToolsCalculate.htm). This command
puts the total in the status bar and on the Clipboard. It works for tabbed

In a previous position I was sure that there was a way to add columns
in
a
table by highlighting the column or rows of figures and the total would
show
accross the bottom of the window bar. Has anyone ever heard of this?
