Cell references in Word table
It should be as easy to insert a formula into a Word table as it is in Excel.
You should be able to put in the = sign or + sign and then highlight the cell that you want to add. Word makes you put in the cell reference manually. I just upgraded from Office 2000 to Office 2003 and still cannot figure out how to see a cell reference number. I have to count the columns and rows to figure it out. Is there an easier way? Will Office 2006 address this issue? ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Cell references in Word table
Why should it be so easy? Word is not a spreadsheet.
