Relative cells number in Word?
I have a table of work and costs:
Hours Activity 10.1 Case setup 3.5 Consultation 2.0 Report 15.6 Total hours $1,248.00 Cost I can easily get the total hours by putting a =sum(above) formula in that cell. If I add or delete rows, F9 will update the sum. Is there any way for me to enter a formula that will calculate the cost where the cost = total hours * $80 (or some hourly rate) that will continue to work after I add or delete rows? I tried entering the formula "=A5*80". That works until I add or delete rows. -- Running Word 2000 SP-3 on Windows 2000 |

Instead of referring to Cell A5, Bookmark the Total Hours result and then
Cross Ref the Bookmark for the calculation. But really, this is a job for Excel rather than Word. -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "LurfysMa" wrote in message ...

I was just hoping that I could do a simple multiplication without having to import an Excel table. I have had so many problems with bookmarks, but I'll give it a try.

How long did it take you to work all that out? I'm not sure I can make it work even after you did all the hard work! ;-) Thanks -- Running Word 2000 SP-3 on Windows 2000 |

Thanks for the feedback. It took quite a while to work out how to do that.
