2. Click the \<emph\>Formula \</emph\>icon, and choose "Mean" from the Statistical Functions list.

3. Type the three numbers, separated by vertical slashes (|).

4. Press \<emph\>Enter\</emph\>. The result is inserted as a field into the document.

To edit the formula, double-click the field in the document.
