Calculating in tables and background color
I have two questions I hope someone can resolve for me.
1. Whenever I open a new Word document, the background of the page is grey, while on my wife's computer, it is white. I would like to make mine white, for all new documents for many reasons. One reason is due to fields in a table, which appear grey. With a grey background, you cannot see the curser in the field. Therefore, can someone tell my how to make them all white when they open? 2. I made a table in Word and set the table for fields to allow people to input info based on the labeled cells. In two columns, I want them to be automatic sum, the same as it would be in Excel. Therefore, when a number is entered, the total will appear at the bottom cell. Other than clicking the "Auto Sum" icon every time the numbers are entered, I cannot find a way to make it permanent, without having to use "Auto Sum" every time. Is there a way to make this automatic? Thank you |

Calculating in tables and background color
1. The paper color in Word is the window color in Windows (Display |
Appearance). 2. Are you using form fields or just table cells? -- Suzanne S.

Make sure that "Calculate on exit" is enabled in each form field that
contributes to the calculation. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "SBH" wrote in message news:FKCdnXbrbtNtXZDVnZ2dnUVZ_gudnZ2d@wideopenwest .com...
