Calculating total dollar amount in Word table?

Sure thing, sum is within capability of Word tables:

• Insert your table
• enter your number in the column. Make sure there are no blank spaces, blanks must be zero's or else summing will stop at blank cell
• with cursor anywhere in the table, say the cell where you want to put the sum you will see 2 conditional tabs displayed: Design and Layout
• Click on Layout tab
• In Data group, click on Formula icon to display formula dialog, which just happens to default to Sum function, hit <enter>

done

I have created a Word document.  In the document is a table.

In 3 of the cells within the table are dollar amounts, and I would like to calculate the total of these 3 cells into a 4th cell. (similar to the way SUM works in Excel)

Is this possible?  If so, how?
