I am working on a Word document for a school assignment, and I don’t need to write more than 1,000 words.

Luckily, Word 2013 provides a few handy word counting features that will help me keep below my word limit.

As I work on my document, I can keep an eye on my word count on the status bar, down in the lower left corner of the Word window.

If you don’t see the word count in your document, right-click anywhere on the status bar to bring up this menu, and then click Word Count.

As I type, or remove text in my document, the Word Count updates automatically.

And if I click the Word Count in the status bar, a box appears giving me even more detail, including the number of characters and the number of lines that my document contains.

I don’t want to include my document’s footnotes in my total word count, so I’ll uncheck this box.

This section of my document can’t be more than a third of the total document length. To check the length, I select the paragraphs in this section, and the status bar shows the number of words in my selected text.

It looks like I have 205 words in my selected text, out of a total of 968 words, so I am still below my target.

I want to insert the word count in my document, so my teacher can see it when I hand-in my paper.

I click in my document where I want the word count to appear.

In the ribbon, on the INSERT tab, I click Quick Parts, and then click Field.

I select NumWords in the list of Field names, and then click OK.

If I make changes to the document, the word count won’t update automatically. To update it, I’ll right-click the Word Count, and choose Update Field.

To make sure that the latest word count appears when I print my document, I click FILE and then Options.

In the left panel, I click Display, and then under Printing options, I select Update fields before printing.

Обычно в Word создаются таблицы, которые содержат числовую информацию, такую ​​как простые выписки или прайс-листы. Если бы потребовалось применить простые операции расчета, эти формулы можно решить в программе Word без необходимости использования электронной таблицы Excel. В этом разделе обсуждается использование основных математических операторов и функций для разработки простых операций вычисления в таблицах Word.

Возможно вы искали статью на тему Как написать математическую формулу в ворд

Содержание

  1. Сумма в ворде
  2. Word: диалоговое окно «Формула»
  3. Обновить формулы в ворде
  4. Функции расчета доступны в Word
  5. Видео инструкция

Сумма в ворде

Для настройки операции суммирования необходимо использовать поле формулы, действуя следующим образом:
1 — Поместите точку вставки в ячейку, где должен быть получен результат.
2 — На вкладке «Макет» группы кнопок «данные» нажмите кнопку Формула FX

Использование формул в ворде

После того, как вы нажали кнопку «Формула» на вкладке «Макет», откроется диалоговое окно «Формула», в котором в качестве параметра предлагается ввести функцию суммы = SUM (ВЫШЕ)

Формулы в ворде

Word: диалоговое окно «Формула»

В окне Формула по умолчанию предлагается операция суммирования ( SUM ).
Названия функций расчета, применимых в Word, в последних версиях программы, больше не переводятся.

Предлагаемых операторов 18 и в их синтаксисе в скобках необходимо указывать направление расчета. Например, выше ( ABOVE ), ниже (BELOW) , слева ( LEFT ), справа RIGHT )
Функции AVERAGE (), COUNT (), MAX (), MIN (), PRODUCT () и SUM () также могут принимать ссылки на ячейки таблицы в качестве аргументов. ссылочные координаты в режиме Excel или в первом столбце таблицы будут называться A, затем B, C, D …. и первая строка 1, а затем 2,3,4 ….

вставка и построение формул с использованием математических операторов

Пример: чтобы добавить значения в столбец 2 вместо = SUM (ABOVE), можно написать = B2 + B3 + B4, учитывая, что подразумеваются альфа-заголовки (как если бы мы были в листе Excel) –числа столбцов и строк.

В этом режиме выражения формулы можно организовать еще более сложные расчеты, например, расчет НДС (см. Изображение ниже).
При построении этих формул следует учитывать, что они будут выполняться слева направо. Как и в математических уравнениях, операторы * (умножение) и / (деление) будут иметь приоритет при расчете сумм и вычитаний.
Если были суммы или вычитания, которые можно было выполнить перед умножением или делением, они будут заключены в скобки (). Пример = (А1 + А2) * А5

Обновить формулы в ворде

Формулы в Word автоматически обновляются при открытии документа. Вы можете вручную обновить результат формулы. Просто выделите результат и щелкните правой кнопкой мыши по нему и выберите опцию «Обновить поле».

Word | обновление и пересчет формул

Все функции, рассмотренные в Word, перечислены ниже.

ABS Возвращает положительное значение числа формулы, независимо от того, является ли его значение положительным или отрицательным.
AND Возвращает значение 1, если все выраженные логические выражения являются истинными, или значение 0 (ноль), если хотя бы одно из выражений является ложным.
AVERAGE Рассчитывает среднее значение ряда значений.
COUNT Подсчитывает количество элементов в списке.
DEFINED Возвращает значение 1 или 0 в зависимости от того, является ли выражение допустимым или не может быть вычислено.
FALSE Возвращает нулевое значение.
IF Вычисляет первый аргумент. Если первый аргумент является истинным, возвращает второй аргумент; если ложным — третий. Пример (=IF(SUM(ABOVE)>10;да;нет))
INT Возвращает только целочисленные значения, исключая десятичные дроби без аппроксимации.
MIN Возвращает наименьшее значение числового ряда.
MAX Возвращает наибольшее значение числового ряда.
MOD Возвращает остаток, полученный в результате деления значения x на значение y несколько раз.
NOT Возвращает значение 0 (false), если логическое выражение x истинно, или значение 1 (true), если выражение ложно. ИЛИ Возвращает значение 1 (истина), если одно или оба из логических выражений x и y являются истиной, или значение 0 (ложь), если оба выражения ложны.
OR Имеет два аргумента. Если хотя бы один из них является истинным, возвращает значение 1. Если оба аргумента являются ложными, возвращает значение 0. В основном используется в функции IF.
PRODUCT Рассчитать произведение элементов, указанных в скобках.
ROUND. Вернуть округленное значение для указанного числа десятичных знаков.
SIGN Возвращает значение 1, если ссылочная ячейка x имеет положительное значение, -1 и отрицательное.
SUM Рассчитать сумму заданного диапазона ячеек TRUE Возвращает значение 1.
TRUE Если аргумент является истинным, возвращает значение 1, если ложным — 0. В основном используется в функции IF.
