Default Calculating in a Word Table

Word does not do a very good job at Auto Calculation - in fact formula
fields have to be manually updated by pressing the F9 key. If this is a
very long table, then I suggest that you use Excel to perform the
calculations. If you must have it in Word, then the basic formula would
be the similar as in Excel =Sum(C2*=sum(E2*100)) or 20*.18
