"summing numbers" from HELP in WORD
Sum a row or column of numbers
1 Click the cell in which you want the sum to appear.
2 On the Table menu, click Formula.
Show me
3 If the cell you selected is at the bottom of a column of numbers, Word proposes the formula =SUM(ABOVE). Click OK if this is correct.
If the cell you selected is at the right end of a row of numbers, Word proposes the formula =SUM(LEFT). Click OK if this is correct.
Notes
· If you see field codes between braces ¾ for example, {=SUM(LEFT)} ¾ instead of the actual sum, Word is displaying field codes. To display field code results, click Options on the Tools menu, click the View tab, and then clear the Field codes check box.
· If your column or row contains blank cells, Word will not sum the entire column or row. To sum the entire row or column, type zeros in the blank cells.
· To quickly sum a row or column of numbers, click the cell where you want the sum, and then click AutoSum on the Tables and Borders toolbar.
