I am trying to set up a table that will sum values as they
enetered into cells. I thought that if I inserted a
formula into a cell that this would perform the
calculation. The only thing I can get it to do is to
perform the calculation once. If I change any of the
values in the data cells the total does not change in the
cell where the formula has been inserted. I have to
renenterthe cell to get a new total if any of the original
values are changed.

Is ther any way of setting up a formula in a cell that
will autimatically caluclate the result as values are
added and/or changed?

Would appreciate any suggestions.

Calculations (formulas) in Word are inserted as Fields which do not update
automatically. If that is what you want, the best recommendation IMHO is to
insert an Excel Worksheet object rather tha using a Word Table. InsertObject

Good Luck |:)
