Does anyone have a preprocessor to tbl to add up
rows or columns?

I often find that the last row (column) of my tables
is a sum.  And every time I change some numbers I need
to re-add them all to compute the last row (column)
again.  If anyone has a way to automatically do this
I would be happy to see it.

Example:

	---------------
	| Item 1 | 10 |
	| Item 2 | 20 |
	| Item 3 | 30 |		I don't want to have to
	| ------ | -- |		recompute this line
	| Total  | 60 |----->	each time I change one
	---------------		of the above lines

Maybe the way to do this is to have a spreadsheet that
can output tbl input.  Is there a generally available
one to do this?

Thanks-
