I want to 'hide" the cell placeholder "0.000" that appear in the cell where
my calculation takes place.....from Word97 thru Word2000 I wrote the formula
as:
{=(A1)*1.012 \# 0.000;(\# 0.000);} the info within the parentheses + the
last semicolon is what made the cell appear blank. Its not working in the
2003 version...is there a way to make the cell appear blank until a number is
typed into the calculated cell? My thanks and best regards
 
What you have should be generating: "Error! too many picture switches
defined. Try:

{=(A1)*1.012 \# 0.000;(0.000);}

works here.
 
I think that you must be mistaken. That switch would not have worked in any
version of Word.

What you must have used before, and what you need to use now is:

{=(A1)*1.012 \# "0.000;(0.000);"}

Hello;
I've never used calculations in 2000 Word tables before, so please accept a
biginner's question!!
In cell I4 of a Word table, I'm trying to have the sum of squares of the
values in cells F4, G4, H4.
In I4 Table::Formula, I entered:
=SUM(F4^2,G4^2,H4^2) \ "0.0000;(0.0000);"
and clicked OK.

The formula is shown in cell I4 placed between { ...}, instead of the result
!!
Is there something under Options that I must adjust first ??
Thank you kindly.
 
Hi;
I forgot to mention that , the Word Tools::Options::Print "Field codes" box
is clear.
Regards.
 
Hi. If I merely have cells in a table that I would like to add, how do I add
codes to them. I don't understand.

Thanks.
