sum column totals

I have never used excel b4 and need 2 sum the columns in a workbook.
Can someone please tell me in laymens terms how to do it . If I click on the
funny E icon I just get =Sum(0) in the cell I want the total for that column
to appear.Please help!

Easiest:
Type =Sum(
Then select the cells you want to add up by clicking on the first one and
dragging to the last one.
Then )
Hit Enter.
