highlight cells to obtain total without using formula?

In previous versions of Excel, I use to be able to select a group of cells to
obtain a total, without having to use a formula. The total would appear at
the bottom of the window. Is this function still available in Excel2003?

Do you have a visible status bar (Tools>Options>View, and see if status bar
is checked)?
