If the values are in a table, you can insert a { = SUM(ABOVE) } field in the
cell that should include the total. To insert the field delimiters, {},
press Ctrl+F9. Type the code as shown. Then press F9 to update.

Note that fields only update semi-automatically (with a few exceptions). To
force an update of all fields in the main body of a document, select the
whole document (Ctrl+A) and then press F9.

You may also find it helpful to set the option to automatically update
fields on print; in Word 2007, this option is in Office button | Word
Options, Display category, and in Word 97-2003, it's found in Tools |
Options, Print tab.

Note: To show/hide field codes in a document, use Alt+F9.
