Where are Word 2007 functions listed?
The Help pages do not seem to understand the above question, so I cannot find
any information on doing calculations within Word 2007 tables. |

Wow. They sure don't make it easy, do they? Even knowing exactly how to do
it, I can't coax the Help system into sharing that information with me. In the Table Tools Layout ribbon tab, click the fx/Formula button (far right end of the ribbon). -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Orpheus2000" wrote in message ...

Hi Herb,
A few more of us should provide feedback via the Help facility. I just sent them: "Try searching the Help in Word for Formula. I know it is on the Tables tab in the Ribbon, but for someone who does not know that, what chance have they got with what is returned by the Help facility?" -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP "Herb Tyson [MVP]" wrote in message ... Wow.

Doug, I've saved that text for use with the various feedback mechanisms I've come across, and used regularly. Despite being crystal clear, I suspect that in 90% of cases this will elicit a reply along the lines of: "Formulas are documented at ..." or even worse: "You should search the help for information on formulas" Still, a 9% improvement will be a huge step forwards! -- Steve Swift http://www.swiftys.org.uk/swifty.html http://www.ringers.org.uk |

Hi Orpheus,
To see how to do the field coding for calculations in Word, check out my Word Field Maths 'tutorial', at: http://www.wopr.com/cgi-bin/w3t/show...?Number=365442 or http://www.gmayor.com/downloads.htm#Third_party -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "Orpheus2000" wrote in message ...

For a moment there, I misunderstood, and thought that you were saying that
searching for "formula" was the answer. Here, I get 23 hits with Online Content enabled, and 9 with it turned off... and--as you discovered--NONE of them have anything whatsoever to do with table math, the = field, etc.. If I could actually find any help on it, I could then reverse engineer some working search terms... but, as far as I can tell, there does not seem to be anything about this in the Help file. One thing I miss from OS/2 is that you could do an actual search of the help file--you were not limited to the terms that are indexed. This gave tremendous capabilities to quickly find what you're looking for. The fact that we can't search the help files directly in Windows applications means we're at the mercy of some indexer's limited imagination. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote in message ...
