Rounding Down in Word

[jtay]

Is it possible to set a formula to round down in Word? I know the ROUNDDOWN
in Excel works, but cannot figure it out in Word.

Hi jtay,

This is more complex than in Excel - unfortunately, Word lacks a round
up/down function, and simply using a numeric picture switch will only round
to the nearest unit, not up or down. You can do it though with a bit of
field coding.

For a 'tutorial' with examples of how you can do this and much more,
