As it is the new column is calculating 0 to all records with empty word (and page count). It´s not a big deal, asking just in case because it would be my next tweak, but do not know how.

Try this (put something between the quotes before the last parentesis if you want something else than the empty string):
{#word:'test($,re(divide(add($, 500) ,1000),'\..*','k'),'')'}

Another issue, btw, is sorting. If you omit the suffix you can enable sorting by number, but there is no "sort numerically"-option if the field contains any letters.

Could be dangerous. My copy of War and Peace would be hot enough to fuse even heavy elements, with unpredictable results
