| Smarter Navigation in Word You may already know that in Microsoft Office Word, the up-and-down double arrows below the vertical scroll bar will page up and down through an open document. But you might not know that you can use the Select Browse Object button (the little dot) below the vertical scroll bar to change the function of the double-arrow buttons and of the CTRL+PAGE UP and CTRL+PAGE DOWN keyboard shortcuts. You can, for example, choose to browse by heading, which means the buttons will automatically move the cursor up or down to the next heading. Other choices include browsing by footnote, endnote, comment, graphic, or table.
| | Apply a Sum or Other Function to Every Row in a Data Range in One Step When you format a data range as a table in Microsoft Office Excel 2007, you can add a calculated column—a column of functions (such as sums or averages)—in just one step. To convert a data range to an Excel 2007 table, click in the range, and then on the Home tab, in the Styles section, click Format as Table, and then click to apply a table style.
When your range is formatted as a table, click in a cell of any empty table column, or a cell in the column directly to the right of the table, on any data row. Then in just that cell, add the function or formula you need. (For example, sum all data on that row of the table.) When you press ENTER to apply your formula in that cell, the entire table column is populated with the same formula, adjusted for each applicable data row. If your insertion point was in the column to the right of the table, Excel formats that column to become part of the table when it generates the calculated column.
