Calculating fields in my tables (Word XP)

[Jessica M.]

Hello,

I have a document that I have insert several tables. With
in the document the tables have numbers that I has to be
calculated. Is there a formula that I can use for my
calculations.

Please advise,

JM

Jessica,

You need to be more specific about what type(s) of
calculations you want to do.

I have dollar amounts in the columns and would like to add
the figures together in a row and end up with a total for
each field.

Thanks,

Jessica M.

Hi Jessica,

If there are numbers in all columns on a row, you could use a SUM(LEFT) or
SUM(RIGHT) field. To do this, place the cursor in the cell to hold the total
and press Ctrl-F9 to create a field. It should look like '{ }'. Now type
=SUM(LEFT) or =SUM(RIGHT) between the braces, depending on whether the
values to be summed are to the left or right. Finally, press F9 to calculate
and update the field display.

For more information on field calculations, download the Word document at:
