Do Your Math Homework in MS Word

MicroSoft Word: the Swiss-Army Knife of software.It helps you format documents, checks your spelling and grammar, and performs basic calculations.

Do you need spreadsheet-like math in a Word document? Try these tips:
  • Create a table

  • To sum the numbers in a row, enter numbers in all cells except the right-hand cell, click in the right-hand cell, choose Table | Formula, and accept Word's suggestion of =SUM(LEFT).

  • To sum the numbers in a column, go to the bottom cell and accept Word's suggestion of =SUM(ABOVE).

  • You can also enter basic spreadsheet-style calculations such as =A1*B2. Although the row and column headings aren't visible, the letters in cell references correspond to the columns and the numbers to the rows, just as they do in Excel.

  • To update a calculation, select the cell with the sum and press F9. Or to update all the calculations in a table, select the table (or document) and press F9.

Better Than Cable TV

Yeah. Yeah...... we know you only have cable tv so that you can watch the Science
Channel and Discovery.

This web site eliminates the need for those channels.

It's fun! It's educational! It has no commercials!

And while we're at it...... who was St. John and why did they name a wort after him?
