Quick Calculations in Word
Bet you didn't know that Word has a built-in option that will give you a quick total of a few numbers without having to drag out another application? It's the little known Calculate option, which is not easily found, but can be added to your Quick Access Toolbar.
How To Add Calculate to the Quick Access Toolbar
1. Click the Customize Quick Access Toolbar drop-down at the right end of the Quick Access Toolbar and select More Commands. . .
2. Select Commands Not in the Ribbon from the Choose commands from: drop-down menu.
3. Select Calculate from the list of commands.
4. Click the Add >> button.
5. Click OK. A round button will be added to the Quick Access Toolbar. The button will turn green when you have numbers selected.
How To Use Calculate
To calculate, select the numbers and click the Calculate button on your Quick Access toolbar. The total is displayed on Word's Status Bar at the bottom left corner of the window. The sum is also placed on the clipboard in case you need to paste it into a document.
