Dumb question - where do I add ATF

I know this is probably a pretty dumb question, but I can't seem to find where I add tranny fluid on my truck. My level's a little low, and I would like to top it up. I don't have the original owner's manual...

It's a 2000 Expedition, 5.4L with the 4R100 (I think).

ferroequine,
Where you checked to see the fluid was low is the same place you add the fluid. You just pull out the dip stick and add using a funnel.
Make sure you check with the engine warm and running in park.

Thanks! I thought about adding it through the dipstick tube, but that seemed kind of an odd way of doing it (kind of like adding in oil through the oil dipstick ).

Thanks for the help, I knew I could count on you guys!
