Hi P,
Assuming that this, being asked in the AppleWorks community, is a question regarding an AppleWorks database document, the answer is, "Quite easily."
Open the file, go Layout > Layout and choose the layout on which you wish the field to be placed.*
Go Layout > Define fields (or press shift-command-D to get to the same place)
Type the name of the new field into the Field Name box.
Choose the type of field (Text) from the pop-up menu to the right of the box.
Click Create.
The new field will be added to the Field list in the dialogue.
Repeat for each new field you want to add. When finished, click Done.
The new field(s) will be added to all existing records, and will be placed on the active layout. You can add it/them to other layouts using Layout > Insert fields.
Regards,
Barry
