To Run the Table Math Macro

1. Move the insertion point to the table cell where the math results will be placed.

2. From the menu that the macro has been added to, choose Table Math.

   The Table Math Interface dialog box will be displayed with the table size and the current cursor location in the table showing at the top.

   1. A number in the row and column boxes
   2. A number in the Number Or Bmk box
   3. A bookmark name in the Number Or Bmk box
