I have two problems:

I want to add together two merge fields. I am using the insert equation in a
table. The format I am using is: {={MAILMERGEopeningbid}+{MAILMERGEincrement}}
This keeps giving me a syntax error.

The next thing I want to do I add together in a cell the result of the new
field I am calculating above plus the MERGEFIELD increment.

Can one of you really smart people tell me how to do this?
