Is there an IF format in Word that will take a cell value from a table and
display a different numeric value elsewhere in the document?
i.e.
IF K10 0 K10*-1 K10
I can get the IF statement to work using a Bookmark which results in the
displaying of one of two Text variables, but I can't seem to get the IF
statement to work mathematically.

Hi professor1554,

Within the same table, you could use a formula coded as:
{=ABS(K10)}
If you want to do the same thing from outside the table, you could bookmark the whole table and use a formula coded as:
{=ABS(SUM(Table1 K10))}
where 'Table1' is the bookmark name assigned to the table.
