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?
