Default Optimizing this formula?

While it is possible, with difficulty, to accomplish this task in Word, Word
is not the best application for the task. Is there some reason you are not
doing this in Excel?

I have three columns and only calculating col 2. I have a heading so my
calculation starts from row 2. But here is the task.

1) row 2 is my opening balance.
2) every row after this is a amount that is subtracted from the row 2.
3) the last row will contain the closing balance.

I'm creating a monthly budget and this is what I'm able to do so far.
A) {=B2-(SUM(ABOVE))} BUT, I can't seem to add an extra field to subtract
the extra balance.
B) I used {=B2-SUM(B3:B10)} BUT, I don't want to keep changing the last
row
number.

Any suggesting on how to optimize this or am I stuck with making the last
row number change?
