WORD 2013 - Referencing sum total in table

[klynshoe]

Hello,

I am using MS WORD 2013. I have a table with a sum formula that I would like referenced elsewhere in my document. I only want the amount of the sum referenced, not another table created. When I insert a cross-reference, it wants to insert a new table rather than just the amount of the sum formula.
[TABLE="width: 75%, align: center"]
[TR]
[TD]TOTAL DISTRIBUTION
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]3,551,835.00
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]50,000.00
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]145,003.00
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]$3,746,838.00
[/TD]
[/TR]
[/TABLE]


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,
Kelly

1. Bookmark the table (e.g. Tbl)
2. Where you want the result to appear, insert a field coded as:
{=SUM(Tbl A4)}
where 'Tbl' is the bookmark name and A4 is the cell you want to reference.

Note: The field brace pairs (i.e. '{ }') for the above example are all created in the document itself, via Ctrl-F9 (Cmd-F9 on a Mac); you can't simply type them or copy & paste them from this message. Nor is it practical to add them via any of the standard Word dialogues.
