Patricia,

That is a vague question. What do you mean "add
formulas?" Do you want to add two or more values or a
row/column of figures? First you have to reference the
values being added. You can do this using bookmarks or
cell references.

Isert a table. Put 5 in the first cell (a1) and 5 in the
next adjacent cell (b1). In next cell (c1) type =(a1+b1)
select the expression and press CTRL+F9 then F9. This is
an example of a formula field. Type: formula field in
Word's help for more information.


Other useful tool is Tools Calculate see:

Patricia, lemme add the following to Greg's answer: For the basics, search
the topic "Perform calculations in a table" in Word help (I'm using Word
2000, but it's probably pretty much the same in other versions). For the
basics on adding and subtracting numbers, see "Add, subtract, and perform
other calculations." For the basics on referencing table cells, see
"Referencing cells in a table."
