Formula in Word

[drimades]

-----------------------------------

How can I use the cells of a table in Word in a formula? For example if I need in cell (1,3) the sum of the cells (2,2) and (1,2).
Then how can the cell be updated automatically when the values in the referenced cells change?

Help will tell you how to enter the formula. Search for "Formula" "Table" for example.
Basically Table,Formula

Again from WORD HELP:
If new information becomes available, you can update a field to produce new field results.

*To update a single field, click the field or the field results, and then press F9.

To update all fields in a document, click Select All on the Edit menu, and then press F9.

Tip You can update all fields in a document each time you print it. Click Options on the Tools menu, click the Print tab, and then select the Update fields check box.*

Thanks,

Gavin

Hi drimades,

Cell referencing in Word field formulae use the same 'A1' format as Excel, so the syntax is pretty much the same:
=B1+B2
or whatever your "cells (2,2) and (1,2)" refer to.

For all the detail you're ever likely to need, check out my Word Field Maths 'tutorial', at:
