Using Excel type commands in Word tables

[Heather]

Is there any way to have a Word table use commands that are Excel type? I
have a table that I have to update each week, that needs simple column
totals. There are reasons I have to use Word, and cannot just switch it to
an excel sheet. Any solution that would avoid my hand adding these each week
would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Heather

There are some formulas that can be used in Word. Search Word's Help for
"formula." Or you could embed an Excel sheet.
