Incorrect values

[~Jazzee~]

when i construct a table in word, and put values in and use the formula from
the table menu to total up a column [ =sum(above) ], it gives me the wrong
value always. why is this?

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/SumAboveIncorrect.htm and note that
a revised (and presumably superior) macro is available at
