Word

Can you enter a table into the word doc with a formular?

RE: Word

Hi Maryann

Thank you for your question.

You can enter a formula to do a calculation in a table in Word, however Word is not as powerful for doing calculations as what Excel is.

If you go to Table - Formulas, you will be able to insert a formula to, for example, add numbers in the table either above or to the left of the cell where you are entering the formula.

You can change the function which is used (e.g. change from SUM to AVERAGE) using the Paste Function box at the bottom of the dialogue box.

I hope this helps.
Amanda

Word tip:

Change the default font in Word

The default settings for all new documents created in Word are stored in the Normal template, Normal.dot.

To change the font for the Normal template, start a new document then go to Format - Font.

Change the font settings to reflect the font and font size you would like to use in future in most or all of your documents.

Click the Default button in the bottom left-hand corner of the Font dialogue box. Click Yes when the message associated with the font change appears on your screen.

You have now changed the default font for all new documents created from this point forward.
