Problem

Solutions: Often times, a user may want to obtain a running total of a particular column. This can be done in WordPerfect 5.0 and in WordPerfect 5.1 after release date 11/06/89. To obtain a running total, the user should set up a math definition with the number of columns desired. This would include one column defined as a calculation column. The calcuation formula would include adding the desired column with the running total column. The example below adds Column B to Column C. Column C is the running total column. This calculation works because when you reference the column letter that the cursor is currently in, the program looks to the amount in the line above in the same column.
