How do insert a Formula in Word?

Question

I'm trying to put a simple formula into Word to try and work out what the VAT would cost for a Sub total then add that to a total amount. I can do it in Excel no problem, but trying to do it in Word is a nightmare. The help feature isn't giving me any clues at all. Can someone help!?

Answer 1

Easiest thing to do would be to insert a small excel worksheet into the document itself



Menu -> Insert -> Object -> Microsoft excel worksheet

Formula In Word

Answer 3

Like Colin M said, create formula in Excell, you may have to turn formula display on in Excel, then copy and paste to Word. The other way is in Excel, create the formula, then in the cell to the left, type the actual formula in, but set Cell to text. If Excel sees the =(equal) sign, it will do the calculation.
