Is it possible to make a variable-length, dynamic table that sums?
I am working on an end-user form. I am wondering if it is possible in Word
2007 to make a variable length table that accomlishes the following: * the header row is fixed * end-users can easily add as many rows as needed * the bottom row sums the columns that are added by the end-user * is a stand-alone form that end-user can download and edit and then print out several copies. * is fairly idiot proof; the end user should require only a minimal understanding of Word to use it. Thanks, Ned. |

I am thinking that InfoPath would solve your issues better than Word.
Besides creating a form, in which case you would need VB to set the macro to add another row, and locking the entire thing. Hopefully someone else has a better idea. Sorry, this is my only suggestion. "Ned23" wrote: I am working on an end-user form.

Ah, that may be where the confusion is. Thanks. Now, I was under the impression that InfoPath was sort of a front-end for a database for real-time data entry. Do you think it's useful for a static form that people will download, fill out on their own PC and then send back?

Well, the frontend for a database is just one option. There are other uses
for the Info Path forms. A "submit" button can be added, and programmed to send the form to a specific email account for collection. The one big advantage is that you can create repeating tables. The tables can be programmed to show based on a previous answer. Also, you can "lock" the forms by just publishing it. This makes it a little more versitile. There are other options too, like validation rules and option fields, and information based on the user. "Ned23" wrote: Ah, that may be where the confusion is. Thanks.
