MS Word Table Question

[patricksb]

I know in wordperfect you can reference a cell and it's contents with the tablename "+TABLE A,A1 ", is this possible in word? how do you find out the table name and can you display the table rows/columns?

Please advise and thanks in advance

1) I am pretty sure that rows/columns TAGS cannot be displayed in Word tables

2) I am not sure about tablename referencing

Usually when anything more complex than a single column total is required it is easier to embed in the Word document an Excel table.

Yeah, that's what I figured, MS limits Words function, to force you to use Excel...

Another question, in Word, you have to right click the formula and select "update field", is there a way to automate this to update automatically, like WordPerfet?

Thanks in advance

I can't exactly remember but it's either F9 or Shift+F9 or Ctrl+F9.

Try those and see what works.
