can you auto calculate in word 2007 like you can in excel?

[George]

I am trying to auto calculate a total in a Word 2007 table like you would in
Excel - can this be done, and if so can I also auto calculate a percentage in
Word?

It depends on your definition of 'auto'. Word does not automatically
calculate, but you can calculate in a table with formula fields.

Thanks Graham, can you give me an example of this formula?

Assuming all in a table

to add cell a1 to cell a2 in cell a3, put the following in A3 (use CTRL+F9
for the brackets)

{=A1+A2}
