Please your support, are there any features similar to these in Word 2003 to
calculate the figures in a table that exist in Powerpoint 2003?

Regards.
 
Thanks alot Bill, I have tried this way and found it useful, however this
will imperatively be helpful in simple calculations with few figures to
calulate. i think there should be another way to calulate a huge number of
raws .. don't you agree !

Appreciate your support.

Regards.
 
I agree, but PowerPoint wasn't designed to do calculations, merely to show
data/information. You could always insert an Excel or Word Object on your
slide and do the calculations either on the spreadsheet or table, depending
on which object you insert.

You can iterate through the cells of a table.

Each cell has a .Shape property that returns the rectangle shape that defines
the cell, and if the shape has text, you can retrieve that and do whatever you
want with it, including converting it to a number and doing math with it.

Does that sound like it'd meet your needs?
