Hi all

i want to insert a table eg

In word
go to insert
then object and select excel worksheet

You then create your worksheet with what ever you want as if it is in excel, to edit the worksheet just double click on it again.

If you already have the worksheet created you can insert an existing file.

You can do it in word without doing an excel insert - you need to go to Table, Formula and then do =SUM(ABOVE) to add a column - or something similar.

However the Word table sum will "break" if there are any empty cells in that column/row you are adding up
