Totaling columns

[Edward Frost]

Using an Apple G4 OS 10.5.2. In an old version of Word, I used to be able
to scroll and highlight a column of numbers in a Word documents by holding
down the Option key; then, by hitting shift/+, as I recall, Word would give
me a total of the number in the column. Does anyone know if it possible to
do this somehow in current Word versions?

You may want to post in a Mac-specific NG (see

Winword, you can column-select using Alt+drag. For the total, see
