Addition in a 2007 Word Table
How do you take a simple colum of numbers in a Word 2007 table and add them?
This used to to be so easy in 2000. Now you seem to need to be a rocket scientist to figure out how to do simple addition in a table in Word 2007. |

Addition in a 2007 Word Table
Yeah, they made it real tough;-) Click in the cell where you want the sum,
click the Table Tools Layout contextual tab on the Ribbon, click Formula in the Data group, click OK. -- HTH |:) Bob Jones Office:Mac MVP "aedcone" wrote in message ...

Now you seem to need to be a rocket scientist to figure out how to do simple addition in a table in Word 2007. It's still easy, you just need to look in the right place. When the cursor is in the table cell where you want the sum, the Table Tools tab will be visible on the ribbon, with two tabs under it, Design and Layout (not the best names, but we're stuck with them). Click the Layout tab, then click the Formula button in the Data group at the far right. Choose the SUM(ABOVE) formula. Alternatively, you can go to the Insert ribbon, click Quick Parts and select Field, choose the "= (Formula)" field type, and click the Formula button. That gets you to the same Formula dialog. Once you know about the field, you can insert it by hand more quickly than with all that button clicking. In the table cell, type =sum(above) Select that text and press Ctrl+F9 to make it a field, then F9 to update it. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP (but not a rocket scientist) FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
