Word should auto update Formulas in the same way Excel does.

I'm not quite sure why Microsoft has directed me to post a message in a
forum when I'm after feeding a feature request through to them, but I'm sure
others will agree that it would be nice if Word auto updated formulas or at
least had an option check box were a formula can be set to auto update,
rather than having to update on close, or right click and update the value.

If your message is marked as a suggestion, then other readers can vote on
it. Suggestions that get enough votes will theoretically get a response from
someone at MS.

Why not just use an Embedded/Linked Excel object?|:)

You can also feed feature requests through this site:
http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp
If you don't care about a response or anything.

One advantage of the newsgroup is that sometimes the features do exist and
people can learn about them.
