Perform calculations in a table
1. Click the cell in which you want the result to
appear.
2. On the Table menu, click Formula.
3. If Microsoft Word proposes a formula that you
do not want to use, delete it
from the Formula box.
Do not delete the equal sign. If you deleted the equal
sign, reinsert it.
4. In the Paste function box, click a function.
For instance, to add numbers,
click SUM.
To reference the contents of a table cell, type the cell
references in the
parentheses in the formula. For instance, to add the
numbers in cells A1 and B4,
the formula would read =SUM(a1,b4)
5. In the Number format box, enter a format for
the numbers. For example, to
display the numbers as a decimal percentage, click 0.00%.
Note: Word inserts the result of the calculation as a
field in the cell you
selected. If you change the referenced cells, you can
update the calculation by
selecting the field and then pressing F9.
Note: Microsoft Word table calculations must be manually
recalculated. Consider
using Microsoft Excel to perform complex calculations.
