[mso] Re: New member / Word question

 
Hi Anne,
 
Many thanks for your advice!  I did find the Greek "E" symbol and  added it 
to the toolbar, but when I go to the last cell in the column and click  the 
symbol, a "1" shows up in the box, and not the total of the numbers I  have in 
all cells in the column.  I did try to create an Excel table, but I  can't 
figure out how to customize the standardized table that comes up  when you open 
a 
new Excel file.  What can I say, I'm a dope.
 
Any advice on what I'm doing wrong when clicking that Greek  character?
 
Thank you,
 
Dan

Hi  Dan

Is there any particular reason why you are doing this in  Word?  If you are
able to use Excel it will be much easier to  operate.

However, whichever program you use, there is a symbol which  shows up on
the Table toolbar that looks like a jagged edge E (    ) - somebody else
should jump in here and say what the Greek name is  please!!!

In Word, if you select the bottom cell of the column or row  you are trying
to tally up, then click this  symbol it should put  automatically enter
the total into that blank cell.

In Excel you  need to select the column or row and one blank cell at the
bottom/end and  click the  symbol to achieve the same effect.

Hope that helps  you.  But I would try Excel if it were  me.

Anne
