Need formula to summarize selected cells in columns

Tags: Microsoft, Excel, 2003
Hello -
I have a worksheet where hours for various projects are being entered for employees by date. For each project, the are any number of rows, depending on how many employees are working on that particular project. The employee's name is in the first column. Each subsequent column is for a particular workday. There is a summary block at the bottom where I need to have these hours summarized for each employee for each day.
I have attached a small Excel file and snapshot to illustrate what I am looking for. The actual worksheet is enormous. I need a formula that I can copy and paste for hundreds (if not thousands)  of cells.
At this point I am not going to get into whether or not Excel is the best tool for this task (when one has a hammer, everything is a nail...). I am working on getting MS Project adopted, but that is going to take a while to happen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Shambalad
