Can I add a column of numbers in Word down the right side? How?

[Marianne]

I used to be able to add a column of numbers in an old version of Word.
Here's what I want to do:

1 KENTUCKY RIFLE - Curly maple stock. 10,000.00

2 Sofa - Three cushion.
100.00

I could "highlight" the numbers only using the option key and highlighting
from "right to left". Then I went to "tools" and there was a "calculate"
key. When I selected "calculate" I would get a "total" of 10,100 (for
example) in the lower left of the screen. Is there still a way to calculate
a column of numbers (I always use the decimal tab for the numbers) in the
newer versions of Word?? I do appraisals of personal property and want to
switch to a new Word program on a different computer, but I can't seem to add
a column of numbers. Any suggestions - or can this no longer be done?????
Thanks, Marianne

You don't say what version you switched to ... but even if you can't
do whatever you used to do, you could put your information in a table
and sum the column.

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/ToolsCalculate.htm. But putting the
information in a table would make this easier.
