Pretty bad if anyone needs a calculator to multiply single digit
integers. For that matter, it's bad if someone even needs a pencil and
paper. In my misguided youth schools required memorization up to 10
squared, but a few kids a few years younger the requirement was extended
to 12 squared.

Multiples of nine are easy because you can add a zero (equivalent to
multiplying by ten) then subtract the original value back off (for
instance 9*7=70-7=63)

Indeed. But the main problem with this question is that it has nothing to do
with tables in Word.

Unless of course 9 and 8 are numbers in table cells that should be
multiplied, which could be done with a formula field. :-)

That thought did occur, but it could not be determined from the data
provided. <g>
