Can I make calculations within a table on Microsoft 2002

I have set up a table in a Microsoft Word 2002 document and would like to
operate on it getting totals, subtotals, etc. Is this possible?

Yes, create a blank cell for the calculation(s) you want to make and select
"Formula" from the Table menu.

Be aware though that you will get an error if you use the result of a
calculation as an input to another calculation.

That is, if you use a formula in word to sum two subtotals, you will not get
the correct result. To get the correct Total, the formula must reference
directly the numbers entered into each cell that will contribute to the
total.
