How do I set up a multiplication talley in a Word table?
I am trying to get the quantity from cell A1 multiplied by cell E1 to show up
in F1. I've taken all the steps that Microsoft Office has asked me to do and have even had someone else to check to see if they could get it to calculate and it did on another machine. Help! What am I doing? Is it the machine or the user? Thanks! |

How do I set up a multiplication talley in a Word table?
Try using this formula
=Sum(a1)*sum(e1) Word formulas are *funny* which is why so many people embed Excel Spreadsheets to perform the calculations. They format the spreadsheet to look like a table, so the printed document looks the same. Have fun! But be sure and let me know if it does not work for you. -- Dawn Crosier Microsoft MVP "Education Lasts a Lifetime" This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Hi Tonya,
In the cell where you want the calculation to appear: .. press Ctrl-F9 to create a field .. between the filed braces (i.e. '{}') type '=E1*F1', so that you've got {=E1*F1} .. add any numeric picture switches you might want .. press F9 to update the field For more information on how to do a wide range of calculations in Word, check out my Word Field Maths 'tutorial', at: http://www.wopr.com/cgi-bin/w3t/show...?Number=365442 Cheers "Tonya" wrote in message ...
