Summing Table Rows and Columns

The fastest way to total the rows or columns of a table is by clicking the Formulas button on the Layout tab under Table Tools. The disadvantage of using this method is that if you subsequently edit the values in the rows and columns of the table, the sums will not automatically update. You would need to remember to click Formula again for each row and column that was updated. To ensure sum totals are automatically calculated anytime the data in a table changes, use the equation functions of Word.
