This handly little field code seems to have disappeared in the 20007 upgrade. Why do new versions always have less USEFUL features than their predecessor? I use this function all the time for totaling budgets in tables. Of course, once it was removed one of my totals was off for the first time, because I had to calculate it by hand. Anyway to get this function back? TIA, Pete

Peter, As Suzanne suggested you can add it to the quick access toolbar. Office-button - Word options - customize - all commands - look for sum - click add button. -- Luc Sanders MVP - PowerPoint "Peter de B.

Thanks Suzanne. It works great. Took a little time for me to find where it added the sum function icon, but it is in the upper left hand corner. Best wishes, Pete "Suzanne S.

In addition to the other responses, I might point out that AutoSum is still there, even without putting it onto the Quick Access Toolbar. Click the Table Tools - Layout tab, and you'll find the AutoSum tool -- now called Formula -- at the far right end of the ribbon, in the Data section. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Peter de B.
