Hi Susan, I'm not sure, but the hassles involved in doing any calculations in Word are why I generally don't. You can write formulas in a Word table cell that refer to other table cells, but it's ever so much more difficult than using Excel, and there's precious little guidance in the Help. I use bookmarks and cross-references often in Word, but usually for location (page number) or for table of contents. Another possibility comes to mind - form fields. Word has many of them - I usually use just a few of those, as in "Click here and type the name" or whatever, and check boxes. Have you looked into those?
