Word 2007 Table Calculations
I created a simple table inventory form (in Word2000) that sums columns and
gives me a multiplication product result at the end of each row (i.e. column headings: item #, Qty, Descr, Cost, Total) (and the old formula is "=product(B2,D2)." For the life of me I cannot find out how to make the thing work in a Word 2007 document. (Note: This table is in the middle of another form that does not lend itself to Excel). Any suggestions on how to get this thing to work |

Thank you, that helped, but once I protect the document as a form, and fill
in the variable fields, I cannot get the result field to calculate. "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: Use { = B2 * D2 } -- Hope this helps.

If you are protecting the document for filling in forms, in place of B2 and
D2, use the bookmark names that are assigned to the formfields in those cells and set the Calculate on Exit property for each of those formfields. -- Hope this helps.
