Sum 2 data source fields to create 1 merge field possible in Word 2002?

[Jason]

I am trying to take 2 fields from a data source, sum
them, and create 1 merge field in a document. I do not
want to put either of the fields I want to sum in the
document, just their sum. Is this even possible? Does
anyone here have an idea how to do this? Any advice
would be appreciated. TIA

Try { =sum({Mergefield A},{Mergefield B})}. Where { } is entered using
CTRL+F9 and A, B are your mergefield names.

Worked like a charm! Thanks so much Greg. It even let
me do the subtraction I need to do elsewhere.
