Table cell repeating formula results

T

Terri

I have a customer whose information goes into a table.
The far right column contains prices, which are totaled in
the bottom right cell of the table. I use the formula
=SUM(ABOVE) to get that total.

When she opens up the report on her computer (I'm using
Word 2002 and she is probably using something older),
there will often be two numbers in the cell:
$2,668.00$2,668.00 It doesn't look this way on my screen.

I'm thinking it has something to do with re-adding the
column. After edits I'll often re-total the column. I'm
in the habit of leaving the old number there (to compare
the old result to the new one). I figured just deleting
the old number after re-totaling would do the trick, but
apparently it's still showing up on her end.

Any ideas? Will deleting the old results before I re-
total the column fix this problem?

Hi Terri,

Word often doesn't update the display properly after updating fields.
Usually you can get it to do so by scrolling the field off-screen then back
again.

Cheers
