You can still do it but
a. the standard field insertion dialog box is now in the Insert tab, Text
group, Quick parts dropdown, Field... (you can put the Insert a Field
function in the QAT if you want)
b. as long as you know what the formula needs to look like, e.g. SUM(ABOVE)
or whatever, you can always insert the field manually by using ctrl-F9 to
insert a pair of the special field braces and type the rest in between,.

In versions of Word before 2007, a simple formula could be entered in a
cell
that would sum the values to the left or above that cell. This function
seems
to have disappeared?
