Default Why no autosum function for tables in Word 2007?

In addition to the other responses, I might point out that AutoSum is still
there, even without putting it onto the Quick Access Toolbar. Click the
Table Tools - Layout tab, and you'll find the AutoSum tool -- now called
Formula -- at the far right end of the ribbon, in the Data section.

This handly little field code seems to have disappeared in the 20007
upgrade. Why do new versions always have less USEFUL features than their
predecessor? I use this function all the time for totaling budgets in
tables. Of course, once it was removed one of my totals was off for the
first time, because I had to calculate it by hand.

Anyway to get this function back?

TIA,

Pete
