For example, take a look at the data below. The data should all be contiguous, meaning there should be no breaks in the data. There is one big caveat when using formulas like this in Word. You can also press F9 while a field is selected to update it. If you change any of the numbers in the Amount column, right-click on the total and select Update Field from the popup menu to update the total. The formula field is inserted into the cell and the total is automatically calculated and displayed. Depending on your data, you can pick a different number format. I selected 0.00 from the Number format drop-down list to format the number the same way the other numbers in the column are formatted. The correct formula is automatically inserted into the Formula edit box on the Formula dialog box.
