are they in a table? If so, you can enter formulas into the table as
though you are in calc, and they will be processed. just go to an empty
cell, hit =, then start typing a formula. you can even click/drag to
select table regions.

If they're not in a table for whatever reason, you can put them in a
table by highlighting them, and hitting ctrl+F12, or going to Insert 
Table. 

I don't know how else you could do this... I tried inserting a formula
with Insert  Fields  Other and going to formula, but I couldn't
reference any numbers that way.

Hope that helps!

Additionally, if/once they are in a table and there is a blank cell below
the column/right of the row the tool tip that pops up has the summation
symbol in it and you can click on that and assuming the formula that shows
up is correct, just hit enter or tab.
