This is something we discussed on groupstudy a while back. IIRC, the area 0
range command will work, and you can summarize backbone routes as they're
advertised to other areas.
The question is, why? (other than to satisfy a bass-ackwards lab
requirement) If your IP addressing has been designed properly, routes should
really be as summarized as they can be by the time they get to area 0.
Likewise, if you want to reduce the number of routes in your non-backbone
areas, OSPF has tools built into it for exactly that purpose, ie stub and
totally stub areas.
So it's not that you couldn't, but there are better ways of doing it.

That question was on my notes last days. I did a lab,
because I never saw
the efect of area 0 summarization. Area 0 networks are
forwarded to other
areas (if the other areas are normal areas - no stub). So,
if you do not
summarize, area 1routers (for example) will receive IA
routes from area 0
for each link.
