Invoice template in Word

Attached is the word invoice I started with.  I tried using the same commands as I use in Excel as per instructions but I just get syntex errors.  I have copied the table here.

Appreciate any help you can give me.

Thank you for your business!

No problem, yes there are free invoice templates you can use.

Right in Word, go to File menu > New command > under the search window click on "Business" > look through the list, there are several invoice options that are probably adequate to your need after you customize them a little.

Or you can search the web for other free templates you can download. Here is a simple google search with LOTS of hits

You can do precisely that sort of simple math inside of a Word Table, which is probably how the invoice templates are setup. You may want to look at them to reverse engineer them. Or you can search the web for articles on Word table math, ie:

Finally, for more advanced math than you need in an invoice, you could do the math in a spreadsheet then copy and paste the spreadsheet into a word document.

None of the templates I can find on line are self calculating.

When I enter the simple formula =product(a2,c2)  I get $0.00. in d2 - great

When I enter values in a2 and c2, d2 does not calculate.  I have to enter the formula every time.  It does not automatically calculate.  

I really thought Excel commands automatically worked in Word and I could lock the formula and it would work.

Am really feeling foolish because this simple little thing is not working.

If you send me a copy of the document, referencing this thread in the covering email message, I will investigate the issue.
