Using formulas in Word 2007 tables

[Aubin]

I am a old Wordperfect (WP) user trying to convert to Word 2007 and have many
docs with tables. In WP, table fomulas can be entered through a simple
formula toolbar with a table view. Am I missing something, is there table
formula toolbar mechanism and a similar type function in Word 2007 to allow
ease formula entry in tables?

When the cursor is in a table, the Table Tools tab appears at the
right end of the ribbon. Under that, click the Layout sub-tab. In the
Data group at the far right, click the Formula button to open a small
dialog where you can enter the formula. The available functions are
listed in a dropdown box.
