Simple Math in a Word Table

February 19, 2019

How many times have you typed a Word document that contained a few numbers that needed to be added up? You may have even made it pretty by putting the information in a table. Like most people, you probably took out your calculator or launched the calculator application, added up some numbers and then typed the result into the Word document. Did you know that Word can do simple calculations such as summing, multiplying, and averaging. How-To Geek has a post with the steps to do simple math within a Word document.

First, put your cursor in one of the cells in the table. Select the Layout tab in the resulting Table Tools section. Click on the Formula choice and enter the various options such as number format. Read the post to get more detailed instructions. You can always insert an Excel spreadsheet if you need more complicated functions.
