i have a .doc with a table in it.

it needs to total down to a sub-total and a total.

i know it needs to recalculate as i remember this problem from a month or so
ago. but, i forget the answer. help hasnt gotten me to it.

In Help, I typed "calculate formula". Under the topic "Perform calculations
in a table" was this:

Note Word inserts the result of the calculation as a field in the cell you
selected. If you change the referenced cells, you can update the calculation
by selecting the field and then pressing F9.

Jim,

Ed's method will work. Another option is CTRL+a (selects
all) then F9. I have my print options set to update
fields when Word prints. Therefore, a quick method of
updating fields is to toggle in and out of Print Preview.

Experience shows that Print Preview does *not* update all fields in the
document as expected, though it does update fields in the header/footer.

that wasnt the answer.
