In Word 2003, calculations can be placed into a table cell in at least 3 ways:
1. On the Insert dropdown as insert field and select =(Formula) (Note:
this does not insert a form field, just the code)
2. On the Table dropdown by selecting 'Formula' (which does insert a form
field)
3. On the Forms Toolbar by selecting 'Text Form Field' and from the
dropdown, change the definition to 'Calculation'.

Why three different ways of adding a calculation? Are there instances where
one is preferable over another? Do the differences affect the manner in
which the calculation is handled (i.e., form field vs no form field)? I can
see that the two methods that actually drop in a form field provide an
opportunity to add a bookmark that the first method does not.....

Does anyone have an explanation or is there an explanation?
