adding fields

Win 2K & SQL 2K
I have several SQL servers replicating to one server and
I need to add a field to a replicated table can I....
Add the field to the subscriber, then via the Properties-
>Filter Columns->Add Column to Table add the same field
to the publisher?
Will this cause a problem with the other publishers when
they attempt to replicate and there is an addition al
field in the destination table, but has not been added on
all the publishers?
Logically, this seems like it will work. I really do not
want to drop all the publications, alter the tables, then
recreate all the publications with no sync.
HELP!!!
the preferred way to add a column to articles in an existing publication is
to use sp_repladdcolumn.
