First...what version?
In OO.o 2.02, just highlighting will show you the sum in the bottom right corner. No clicks necessary. If you want to put that sum in a cell, then highlight the cell, click on the "=" sign and highlight what you want to summate and press enter and you will have that sum in that cell. It's the same thing as with MS Excel.
