Hi. I just wanted to mention that, notwithstanding the usefulness of the
proposed feature in the present context and state of AW, once tables are
implemented, a minimal range of mathematical calculations on cells,
rows, columns _will_ be expected, or at least looked for by many, as
Word, WordPerfect, and probably Lotus WP as well support a huge array of
table formulas. But maybe the implementation of that is another thing
entirely...
