If the text already has a formula, the result can be entered into the text without using the
Formula bar as follows:

figures, arithmetic operators and any currency symbols.
Example: 12 + 24 * 2
2. Hold the Ctrl key down and press the numberpad plus (+) key, or choose Tools >
Calculate. The calculation result will be stored on the clipboard.
3. Set the cursor at the point where the result of the calculation is to be inserted.
4. Press Ctrl+V, or choose Edit > Paste.
In this example, the result, 60, is inserted. If the formula is still selected at the time of
insertion, the result replaces the formula.
