WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, use either of the following methods.

Method 1

Apply the bookmark only to the contents of a cell, not to the entire cell. This method is best when you expect that the contents of the cells won't change, or if you only reference one cell from the table.

Method 2

Use the following procedure to refer to individual cells of the table by applying a bookmark to the entire table. This method is most efficient when you need to use several cells from the table. To use this method, follow these steps:

1. Place the insertion point somewhere in the table. For example, move the insertion point to cell A1.
2. On the Table menu, click Select Table.
3. On the Insert menu, click Bookmark.
4. Type a name for the bookmark, such as "Table1" (without the quotation marks).
5. Move the insertion point to the place where you want the formula.
6. Press CTRL+F9 to type the field brackets and then type the reference to the cell in the following format:

   { =SUM(bookmarkname[cellreference]) }

   In the above example, the formula would look like this:

   { =SUM(Table1 A1)*3 }

   To add two cells from the same table, use a formula such as the following:

   { =SUM(Table1 A1) + SUM(Table1 B1) }
