Post subject: Getting a table to total columns Archived from groups: microsoft>public>word>tables (more info?)
Hi,
It's not for lack of trying to find the answer but after 20 minutes of
trying to figure out how to total columns in a Word 2007 table, I have
failed. Can anyone point me to some documentation (or better yet just tell
me) how to correctly insert a formula that will total columns in a table.

This isn't any different from previous versions, is it? On the Layout tab of
the contextual Table Tools there is a Formula button. The formula defaults
to SUM(ABOVE) or SUM(LEFT) if you have values in the relevant cells. You can
also add the AutoSum button to the QAT. Or you can use Insert | Text | Quick
Parts | Field | Formula.

Thanks Suzanne.
Is there a way update all formula fields at once or do you need to right
mouse click on each formula to update the fields in a table? I guess I am
looking for the ability to do the same thing with formulas that you can do
with a Table of Contents where you can update the entire table at once. Hope
this makes sense.
