How do you insert a multiplication formula in the last cell of a Word Table
so that it only multiples the two previous cells, or the is there a way to
pick the cells that you want it to use for the formula?

Insert a formula field and do the calculations as you would in Excel. For
example: { = A1*A2 } would multiply the values in cell A1 and A2.

To insert the field delimiters, { }, press Ctrl+F9. Type in the code. Use F9
to update the result. To show/hide field codes in the selection, use
Shift+F9. To show/hide field codes in the whole document, use Alt+F9.

Note that table calculations are easier if you make use of an embedded Excel
spreadsheet.
