Expanding tables with calculating form fields?

To make it work with your document...

Somehow a typo crept into the field code for the calculation for the 'TOTAL N.E.W.' column. If you toggle the field code siplay 'on' you'll see {=UXOQTY03*EUXONEW03}; it should read {=UXOQTY03*UXONEW03}. Fix that and the calculations should work OK.

You would need to copy both the table and the code. The table in my attachment has a separate column for the lbs. so the optional additional material definition can more easily be handled. Compare tables 9a & 9b.

I doubt it - especially when it comes to adding new material definitions & table rows. This is well within Word's capability.
