Two decimals using AutoSum
I have a table in a Word 2003 document. I want to add a column of figures
using AutoSum in the bottom cell of this column but the total will not default to two decimal places if there are zeros in the amounts I want to add. e.g. 31.20 11.70 AutoSum answer defaults to 42.9 when I need 42.90. I've searched to see if the total cell in the table can be formatted to two decimal places but had no luck. Lindy |

Press ALT+F9 and modify the field as follows
{ =SUM(ABOVE) \# ",0.00"} then Update the field F9 and ALT+F9 to toggle the result. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Lindy wrote: I have a table in a Word 2003 document.

Two decimals using AutoSum
It worked! Thank you so much, I have been stumped by this for 2 days. I
truly appreciate your help. Is there any way to protect this formula cell from being wrecked by another user of my table? I know I can protect such a cell in Excel but I have to use Word for this particular document.

You are welcome Is there any way to protect this formula cell from being wrecked by another user of my table?

You could always save the field as an autotext / autocorrect entry for ease of re-insertion. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org |

Thanks once again, Graham. I've made an AutoText entry as advised. I did
find that Shft+F9 was my toggle switch. I am so pleased that I've finally got this document sorted out. I can now go to bed. It's 3:45am here in Australia. You are wonderful.
