No, Andy, he´s not talking about a Math formula, but a formula in a table, like =sum<a1:a5>. One solution is to have Help Tips turned on (the default) so you see ToolTips, and hover your mouse over the desired cell, which will popup a tooltip with the formula contained in that cell. This option is in Tools->Options->OpenOffice.org->General.
