Tables in Word

[Staci Lynn]

I had a form that was done in WP 6.1. In converting to
Word, the formula has disappeared. I have to add the sum
of columns from different tables to come to a total at the
end. Can anyone tell me how to do this in Word. I know
in WP it was =Sum(Table A.c3:c13, Table B.C2:c25) etc.
but I can't figure out what table is what and what cell is
what. In WP if you clicked in a cell it would tell you on
the screen what table you were in and what cell you were
in. I can't find that luxury in Word. Please help.

Hi,

In word, you can do this by bookmarking each table (eg
Table1, Table2, etc), then referring to the required
ranges using a field.

You create the field by pressing Ctrl-F9. Then type you
formula within the field, like:
{=SUM(Table1 C3:C13)+SUM(Table2 C2:C25)}
I'd expect the cell references to be the same in Word as
WP, but just in case:
Columns are assigned letters A-Z etc from left to right;
and
Rows are numbered 1-99 etc from top to bottom.

Cheers
