Are you aware that you can perform simple calculations in a Word Table?
If you have used a spreadsheet program, such as Microsoft Excel, you are already somewhat
familiar with the way calculations are performed in a Word table.
Columns of a table are identified by the letters
A, B, C, etc., while rows are identified by the numbers
1, 2, 3, etc. Each cell is defined by its column/row coordinates.
To produce a calculation in a Word table:
- Move the insertion point to the cell in
which the calculation is to appear.
- Choose the Table, Formula command
- In the Formula dialog box, which is
subsequently displayed, enter the appropriate
formula.
The following arithmetic operators can
be used in a formula:
+ (Addition)
- (Subtraction)
* (Multiplication)
/ (Division)
- Optionally, reset the number format for
the result of the formula.
- Click on the OK button.
