Hi, You need to write a formula. The way I do it is to put my cursor in the cell at the end of the column I want to add/sum. The formula looks like @sum(a2:a25) to add the cells in column a2-a25. When you read the formula, it wil most likely say "=(a2:a25). I have never had luck using the = sign to start the formula, but it is probably operator trouble (grin. To read the formula with jaws, just put your cursor in the cell and press the F2 key. That will open the cell and you can read or edit the cell. hth, Linda _____ From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Robbie Miller Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2009 8:54 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Excel question Guys, I've forgotton how to add/sum a column of cells in excel.
