Word 2003 Tables not givin right Total until printing
Good Morning,
I have created a form in Word with several tables. The problem i'm having with the tables is that the Total column does not update when you change the numbers. I have to print the forms in order to see the update. Is there a way to Automatically update totals in a Word Table? Thanks, |

Word 2003 Tables not givin right Total until printing
Many fields, such as formulae, do not automatically update. Yours is updating
when printing because in Tools, Options, Print, Update fields is checked in the Printing options settings. To manually update, try Ctrl+A (to select all the document), then F9 to refresh all fields in the document (including the TOC, etc), or right mouse click the individual field, Update Field. This is for 2003 and prior, maybe different for 2007. Hope this helps. DeanH "Marilyn" wrote: Good Morning, I have created a form in Word with several tables.

Word makes use of fields to calculate sums. You can explicitly update these
and other fields in the selection by pressing F9. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Marilyn" wrote in message ... Good Morning, I have created a form in Word with several tables.

If the total field is a result of values entered into form fields, make sure
that the "Calculate on exit" box is checked in the Form Field Options for each field that contributes to the total. -- Suzanne S.
