Invoice Template in Word

[xxxray]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel I've just discovered the invoice templates in Word (Project Gallery/Coordinated Forms) and tried one. I was hoping that calculations would be working (Quantity times Price equals Total), but nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

Appears as if these are very pretty documents and not calculators.

I'm not aware that Word has the built-in capability to do as you hope
(multiplying cells, summing columns, etc.).

I'm not aware that Word has the built-in capability to do as you hope
(multiplying cells, summing columns, etc.).

It used to have a bunch of mathematical functions under the Table menu
(Table>Formula). Was that capability also removed in Word 2008?

AFAIK, the functions were never automatic. That is, they wouldn't
update if you changed a number; you had to reapply the command.
But I've used the "=SUM(ABOVE)" function for years to keep a running
total of my annual earnings in a simple Word document.

I also sometimes use Option-drag to select a column of numbers and
paste it into another application (usually MS Works) (yes, really!)
for manipulation. That's handy when the numbers aren't in a table
and thus can't be manipulated with the Table>Formula functions.

Formulas are there in tables. Never saw that option, nor considered even
looking for it. Wondered what it would be that I learn today!

But they aren't in the invoice templates, far as I can tell. The
formulas go in as field codes and displaying field codes shows nothing.

So I guess one could put those formulas into the templates and re-save them.

I've always done this sort of stuff in Excel and pasted into the docs.

You're doing nothing wrong The templates are merely predesigned layouts
for creating invoice forms & do not include any calculation fields. They are
intended to be customized have to be modified to add the
calculations/formulas as required.

Try to use Spire.Doc (http://www.e-iceblue.com/Introduce/word-for-net-introduce.html) - it is .NET component that supports read and write doc, docx, html, image etc. embed image still support.
