Cor,

Thanks for the help. I managed to get all the chapters added up. But
now I can't get a grand total. The totals for each chapter are in C1,
C7, C11, C36, C54, and about 20 more non-contiguous cells. I put the
cursor in the cell where I want the grand total and typed "=." That
opened the formula window with the = sign in it. I typed the cells as:

=<C1>+<C7>+<C11>+<C36>+<C54>+<C59> and so on.

It added them up accurately for about the first six cells. Then it
stopped adding any more. And as I kept adding more of the cells with
the chapter total, it actually started subtracting random amounts.
Anything above the first six cells gives bizarre answers. For example,
the first six cells total 22:30, the seventh cell is 2:45, but when I
add +<C64> (the seventh cell to be added) the grand total suddenly
becomes 1:15. All cells in question are formatted as "time" and "12:37."

Note that each of the cells being added is a sum of other cells. Those
sums are all accurate, and created by the method you suggested.
Unfortunately, I cannot use that method now because the cells to be
added are non-contiguous.

I looked at the formulas for the seventh and subsequent cells and I see
no difference (other than the fact that they sum different ranges of
cells).

I could select the 25 individual cells with the chapter totals in them
by holding down Ctrl, but then how do I sum them? Or does anyone have
any other suggestions?
