MS Word 365 Formula and Text Box

Hi, I wanted to add a text box to my word document for the year and a button to refresh the values so after the year is input into the textbox, then based on the year input, I want the value of several inventory items to update by calculating the their base value x3% per year starting at the year 2000, or -3% per year below 2K. The formula part is not so important, I can figure that out on my own later, I just need to know how to get started. I know this is normally an Excel job, but believe me, this is a Word document with only a small section displaying these numbers. This would be so easy in Excel, but with Word, it's my first attempt doing something like this. I literally stuck right from the start without a clue how to proceed. I'm guessing the "Formula" function, but I really don't know...

You can do calculations in a Word table. Have a look here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/...d-b2cb2c4f3e27
As noted on that page, but perhaps not stressed enough, the formulae answers will only update when you refresh the fields - so your button to refresh would probably just need to do that.

I don't know if it's possible to put a table into a text box - I've never tried - but you could just use a table instead of a text box and change its wrap options if you want it to be embedded in other text somehow.
