Quick Method to Add Numbers in Word
Word has a hidden feature that can add
selected numbers in a list and display the sum on the status bar. Even better,
if you press Ctrl + V, the sum, which was added to the Clipboard, pastes into
the document.
From the Tools menu,
choose Customize. Select the Commands tab. Under Categories, select Tools and locate
ToolsCalculate under the Commands list. Click
and drag the ToolsCalculate button onto an existing toolbar and release the
mouse. Close the Customize dialog box. (You can modify the text button to one of the
built-in icon buttons while still in the Customize dialog box.)

Note: You can click and drag
icons to the Menu Bar, not just Toolbars.
On an empty line
in the document, type 41 and press Enter. Type 89 and press Enter. Type 119 and
press Enter. Select the list of numbers,
then click the Tools Calculate button and view the resulting sum on the status
bar. Press Ctrl + V to paste the
calculated result in the document.
