Word 2007
Anyone got any idea on how I can total the numbers in a column in a Word
Table? I know there is way, as I have done it before, and now forgotten, and I am having no luck in finding and clues in Word Help. Any help gratefully received. Regards |

Put the cursor in the table cell where you want the total to appear. Being
in a table causes the Table tab to appear on the ribbon. Click the Layout tab under Table. Look in the Data group on the far right; the bottom item is Formula. Click it and select the =SUM(ABOVE) formula. This simply inserts a SUM field, which you can also do from the Insert Quick Parts Field dialog or simply by typing =SUM(ABOVE) and selecting it, then pressing Ctrl+F9 to make it a field and pressing F9 to update it. Also be aware that there are some pitfalls to using the formula; see http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErr...eIncorrect.htm. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
